The way I understand it, this is actually what Charity is about. Not government funded, people funding the groups they think deserve the donations.

We have to fund everything we don’t want with tax money. Take all funding away and let people support what is dear to them.

And good on you Glenn Beck!

This is PERFECT. Now the government just needs to say no to everyone else who gets this free money. I love it so much. Why are we supporting a women’s shelter anyway. The federal government can be cut so much and yet for some reason the only place they can find to cut is defense.....hummmmmmmm.

He does a lot of this sort of thing without media coverage but he’s talking about this as a means of setting an example. One other case I know of is when he paid for a family to take their son to a clinic because the boy had some sort of progressive blindness that was potentially reversible but very expensive. I’ve heard of other cases that Glenn didn’t mention.

I think he follows the example of John Huntsman Sr who is a true billionaire philanthropist.

Yes! I agree...
and the fact that he is a Mormon (like Mitt Romney) I think is cool!
