When one cuts through all of the layers of piety and bullshit, what one realizes is Beck is just another con man trying to flim-flam the masses into accepting their inferior status to the elite class, of which Beck is now a member. We peons must accept crumbs so these crooks and con artists can have even more:
With 26 million American workers on the unemployment lines or unable to find a full-time job, millions more having lost their homes, and working people faced with relentless wage-cutting while Wall Street reels in record profits, such complacent clap trap will find no support from the vast majority of the population. If Beck were to advance an explicit political program based on the interests and aims of the financial aristocracy for whom he speaks, the hostility and opposition would be overwhelming.
Behind Beck’s fuzzy rhetoric about individualism and patriotism there does lie a program which these wealthy, right-wing layers support. It includes the systematic dismantling of all forms of social spending that constitute a drain on profit, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. It envisions the reduction of wages in the US to a level that would be competitive with those in China. And it seeks the even greater strengthening of the police-military powers of the government to suppress all opposition from the working class at home and to escalate militarist interventions abroad.
I couldn't have said it better.
Here is a link I came across through a discussion board about the real problem in this country, and that is the overconcentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands. When this happens, economic ruin and depression invariably results.
