CRAIG T. NELSON GOES 'JOHN GALT' ON GLENN BECK: Will not pay more taxes and willing to go to jail.

Craig T. Nelson said on the popular Fox News Glenn Beck show today that he was going to stop paying taxes and was willing to go to jail for it. The conversation sounded like John Galt's famous speech in the classic 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.


In reference to Nelson's home state of California (which is asking the federal government to guarantee its debt), Nelson said: "It's no longer a state. It's a hedge fund. I have a solution. There's only one way. We've gotta make them...we've got to make people stand up for their responsibilities. They were accountable, and they haven't been. No one is accountable anymore for anything. No one did anything wrong. You're to blame, that's to blame. As an investor, as someone who gets taxed an awful lot, I just say, I'm not going to pay 'till you guys can show me that you're fiscally responsible."


Next, Nelson complained about the government's threat to always cut essential services first instead of some of the more unnecessary or wasteful programs that we all know about: "Listen, the first thing they went after -- education. We're going to cut education. Why? That's the most important thing in the world." Beck then chimed in, "Then cops and prisons." "Then firefighters," Nelson said finishing Beck's sentence for him, "We don't have any fires in California," he said tongue-in-cheek.


"We are no longer represented," Nelson continued. "Okay, we just aren't. And there's been a political fight. There's been a pluralism in our California government and you certainly see it reflected in our national government, don't you? I mean, people are blaming each other. No one is taking personal responsibility for what they said or what they did. And those people are responsible to us. They were elected. This is a democracy. It's a republic. My God?!"


"We are a republic and that means that we need to be represented, and we're not being. I'm not going to pay. I'm not going to pay any more money...what these people are asking me to do..."


"Are you saying that you personally aren't going to pay income taxes anymore?" Beck inquired. With no hesitation, Nelson responded, "I'm really thinking about it, Glenn. Because as a fiscally responsible grandfather, there are programs that they're asking me to fund that I refuse to fund. I'm through with it. I'm just sick and tired of it."


"Are you willing to go to jail?" Beck asked in response. "I will go to jail," Nelson answered.


What a stand based upon principles! John Galt would be proud of Craig T. Nelson.

Hey, I like Glann Beck, and I'm not goofy!

Sometimes the truth hurts.


The dudes is a nut case of the highest order. He's not reporter, he's not a researcher and has even said he did not ck his facts before a show.


He's just an actor....like Limbaugh...just a paid actor.


I know you love him....but I guess someone has to....but he's looney!!!

He's looney because he has someone on his show that is tired of paying taxes on programs that do not benefit them?

I'd say that is about the sentiments of 99% of the people in the U.S.

Except maybe all the brilliant ones like you. :roll:

If you do like paying taxes......get ready.........you've got some doozies coming just for you. :lol:

How long's it gonna take you to pay off your $668,621.00 indebtness? :?

He has over 25 researchers on his staff, he's really doing his homework on this ACORN crap. He is the first to admit he's not a journalist. The thing is he's willing to talk about things others won't, he truly believes in trying to get this country back in the right direction. Out of everyone one I listen to he's probably at the top, Levin may edge past him but he's on at a bad time for me to listen to.

Now, if 1 million people decided to stop paying their income taxes, there is no way we could afford to put those 1 million people in jail. Are we going to put murderers on the street to make room for people not paying taxes?

And on the other side of the aisle is Keith Olberman who actually calls himself a reporter......

Kola I don't think you understand. He said there was many things that could and should be cut before education, police and firemen.Those are things the government should be funding not the social programs and many other non essentials.
