Glenn Beck: Is It Time to Fire the Government?

Here's the One Thing:

The Ninth Principle to show that You Are Not Alone is: The government works for me. Not the other way around.

Let me show you how understanding that principle changes everything.

First, check out this picture with Harry Reid and a couple Republicans after they worked out a compromise spending bill. Doesn't that look just like a giant roulette wheel behind his head? If the government were a regular worker, they probably would have rethought the polar habitat. Instead they are betting on Black 22 and screaming, "Let it ride!"

They are gambling with your future and your children's future.

And how are they going to pay for it? It's not exactly a state secret: They're going to print money, issue debt and raise your taxes.

Back to the principle. If anyone in the government actually held a real job, they would know not to ask for a raise right now.

You know not to go to your boss when times are tough and ask for more money; you go when times are good. You don't say, "Hey, I noticed that you've been laying off a lot of people lately. Does that mean more money for me?"

Instead, you have President Obama and Chris Dodd in your office demanding more money to pay for illegal immigrants, to add back in the welfare that President Clinton rolled back in the mid-'90s, planting the seeds for universal health care and a tax break of $13 dollars a week -- or about $600 in a year.

A very smart woman said something that perfectly sums that up: "You're getting $600. What can you do with that?... You go out and you buy a pair of earrings."

Although, she may regret having said that. Because that was Michelle Obama, talking about the Bush tax cuts last summer.

Back to the Nine Principles: You are the boss. The government is not just asking for a raise, but demanding one -- when the economy is going down the crapper.

If Chris Dodd comes into my office and says he has ideas that will help the company make money, I'll listen. And if he demands a raise, I'll gently explain to him the financial mess we're in.

But if he comes in and suggests things that will actually hurt the company, while also demanding more money, I don't know about you, but I would say "Get the hell out of my office! No actually, don't just get out. You're fired!"

America is dying! 1776-2009 RIP! Our government is corrupt and BOTH parties need to go!! They have taken our right to peacefully revolt or march against washington from us! So I guess we'll be criminals when we get fed up enough! Laws that are unconstitutional are not laws that need to be obeyed! Bush and Obama are on the same team, Obama will not undo what Bush did to our freedoms! Revolution will be America's only recourse in the end!!

Glen trying not to get in Trouble, what he really wants to say is it's time to Overthrow the Government, It's beyond Corrupt and the Evidence is no longer a secret...IMPEACH Obama one more thing,"use agressive force if necessary."

Talk-a-vangelist Glenn Speck! Can't believe this guy is loved by my ex-GF. On second thought, I think I realize why she is my ex.

This is like watching a Jr High news production. \How can anyone watch this guy.

Well of course the government is gonna print more money to pay off the debt.Im surprised Glenn Beck was actually right on that O_O

Bad thing is though, that thatll cause the value of the dollar to decrease and cause inflation, and next thing you know, we are paying a thousand dollars for a loaf of bread. Ok, itll probably not get THAT bad, but you catch my drift.

Did you know Glenn was mentally ill? His mom and sister commited suicide and he has thought about it. He now works for the CIA trying to bankrupt this nation. He is really a revolutionary nut job.

Glen, glen, you don't have any better ideas. All you're doing is whining. So your input is duly noted. Now back in line.

Beck wants us to by China's gold, so we can fund Iran's uranium.

He wants Tax-breaks for companies who outsource american jobs. He's even advicated expanding BushTax for those same companies. So, he wants the US to export it own GNP.

Him in Murdoch are more of a threat than Bin Laden. There supporters are doing their country a great disservice by voting.

Wrong comparison Beck. I think you'll find most businesses over the last few years have gone into overdraft to stay afloat. That is the business comparison.
