Note---Before you read the summary, check out this great news for TYT Fans:

Summary: Cenk plays and then breaks down a clip of Glenn Beck making amusing arguments to defend the rich against the (very small) proposed tax increase on income over 1 million dollars.

4. This is the United States where the REAL Almighty

is the DOLLAR. I'm a little confused at what Glenn said though. Is his thesis "Don't Punish The Rich" or "You Too Can Be Rich"? Because if that's the abuse I have to deal with to be rich, punish me all you like!

5. People like Beck should change their perspective.

Instead of seeing the increased tax as punishment, they should consider it an investment that keeps those who make them rich alive and vibrant so that they can continue to put money in their coffers. :eyes:

8. So let me get this straight Glenn.

You would rather 47 million Americans go without health-care than pay a THREE PERCENT tax increase over a million dollars?

Three percent, or dead kids? Repubs will go with the dead children every time. Unless they are Fetal Americans.
