Glenn Beck calls for increase in charitable giving along with shrinking government. Do you agree?

Of course he says that. You get a huge tax write-off if you give to charity.

I'm for smaller government, but I think that more money should be spent on education. Good education leads to a better country. Why do we spen more money on Jails and cut money from education. If we spent more money on education, we wouldn't need to spend as much on Jails.

Also here is his promotion for his own charity.

This pretty much proofs that Glenn Beck isn't about charity his main agenda has and always will be self promotion.

The work he is in, is completely and totally about self-promotion.  If you don't do this, you go hungry and starve.  It is your job to generate interest in what you do, so that you can generate money off it.  What matters in this though, is to what end is the self-promotion for.  If it results in society being better, then more power to him promoting himself.

Heck, increasingly everything is about self-promotion.  I, for example, if I am going to get anywhere am going to have to promote myself, network, get exposure and end up getting places because I am know.  Anyone in the job market has to do the same.

In short, he makes his living from self-promotion.  What follows after that is what really matters.
