A question: does it not matter at all that the amount of money one has is not nearly so relevant as how one obtained it?
I just go with “Everything Obama says is a Lie”. Things fall into place after that assumption.
Who cares what Glenn makes? that’s not the point.. Glenn isn’t the one telling you that you make too much money.
Progressivism, liberalism, collectivism, Obamaism ... all just another name for HYPOCRISY.
A good many of the anti Glenn right are actually closet marxists.
“Glenn conveniently ommited the fact that he makes $32 million per year and has a net worth that has been reported to exceed $100 million.”
It is not Beck who wants to cap income and redistribute wealth. It is Obama and his supporters. The list was comprised of very wealthy supporters of Obama and his policies.
The difference, which you don't appear to appreciate, is that Beck isn't telling anyone "I do think at a certain point youve made enough money". How much Beck makes (or has made) is irrelevant to the salient point.
Beck’s personal wealth is immaterial. He isn’t the one that’s trying to claim there should be a cap on how much money someone can earn.
Exactly.
And because the Zer0 admonished the press, or was it just Fox news, to get their facts right; Glenn keeps checking the red phone to see if it’s still working. ‘If I’m wrong about anything, Mr. President, give me a call and set the record straight.’
So far, nothing but silence.
Beck is not the one trying to 'share the wealth', insisting that the rich pay 'their fair share', destroying capitalism or controlling executive pay and bonuses.
If he were, you might have something there.
Go sit in the corner...
There are two Beck clips at this link:

that are important, in case you didn’t see that show.
Glen Beck is not telling you that there is some point where you have made enough money. The preso is stating this and wants to take it away from you. Glen wants you to keep it if you’ve earned it properly!
Stealing doesn’t count!
Did you miss that?
BUT, But, but..... Wealth caps aren’t supposed to apply to the elites are they? Are They? /sarc....
They’re only for people we don’t like, or we don’t agree with ....like....uh... Republicans/Conservatives/right wing extremists......you know wingnuts.......LOLOLOLOL /do I really need to tag as Sarcasm?
But Glenn isn’t the one running around the country telling folks they have “made enough” money either.
You will get lots of symphathy here, /www.democraticunderground.com/
why not go give them a visit.
Yes, but Beck is not suggesting that there is a limit to earnings, so he’s not hypocritical like 0bummer & Friends.
Wren’t the Obama’s recently said to be worth on the order of $5,000,000? Not exactly pikers.
