'I Want to Do That Every Year': Glenn Beck Pays Off All Layaways at Dallas-Area Walmart
CBN news ^ | 12-15-18 | Steve Warren

On their way to a Chrismas party over the weekend, Glenn Beck and his wife made a stop at a local Walmart and decided to pay off all of the layaways to the tune of $27,000.

TheBlaze founder said he and his family had been inspired by Tyler Perry, who recently paid off all of the layaways at two Atlanta-area Walmarts, totaling more than $400,000.

The Dallas Morning News reported Beck and his wife stopped at the Dallas-area North Richland Hills Walmart on their way to a Christmas party but ended up staying several hours at the store as employees helped Beck pay off each account.

A Walmart spokesman said Beck paid a total of around $27,000 to close all of the accounts. Beck said on this radio program on Monday that the layaways had balances ranging from $24 to $500.

Members of the Beck family also took turns live-streaming updates on Beck's Facebook page.

In one video, a Walmart employee was talking to a customer on their iPhone.

"I'm serious, somebody paid it," the employee told the customer who could be heard crying on the phone.

North Richland Hills is the Ft. Worth area not the Dallas area

It’s a miracle! I thought Beck was dying and in financial ruin. The money from “Mark Levin”’s TV cured him.

“Lay away” - wow, haven’t heard that term in four or five decades. That was the poor-man’s credit vehicle before credit cards were invented. Except you had to pay it off BEFORE you got the goods. With credit cards, you pay it off AFTER you get the goods.

Do you hate the man so much that you can’t give him credit for anything?

Glenn Beck takes to heart that admonition in Matthew’s gospel:

“Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward “.

What?. Oh. Nevermind.

Mark Davis at 660am had a slight problem with it. There ARE people out there who are more needy. These people would not buy stuff on layaway if they didn’t have the money to begin with. Taking care other own business. I say do them the favor as Walmart is doing their part to fight poverty and what does the left think of them?

He thinks he is being noble by tossing out money without any distinctions, investigation, or demonstration of need. The government sometimes does this.

Clearly Walmart is encouraging this “charity.”

As de Tocqueville discovered when comparing Madrid (? or another Spanish city) to Birmingham, England, there were no beggars on the Spanish streets, yet Birmingham was full of them.

Tocqueville wondered how the British could be so cruel until he realized that the Spanish don’t offer charity in the streets while the British did, which meant that the Spanish streets were empty of beggars but those in Birmingham were flooded with them to take advantage of the “charity.”

LOL!

Not to disparage what may have been an authentically good-hearted gesture, but: you don’t know who you are doing this for, or whether the purchase was a wise one for their situation, or not.

I’ve always preferred the stories of the anonymous benefactor who throws a Krugerrand into the Salvation Army bucket ;-)

It was a good deed, but why make a performance out of it by live streaming it on FB?

Just great,

EXCEPT that, those of us who choose to pay as we go and live within our means get no reward.
