Warning: This government scam would be the 'destruction of rural America'

Another day, another government proposal that will throw a wrench in American citizens' freedom.

The SEC proposal would allow for the creation of a new type of company called a “natural asset company,” which could buy up land to use natural processes — like the generation of fresh air — to write off carbon emissions.

Glenn Beck calls the proposal “horrifying.”

Utah Treasurer Marlo Oaks is in agreement, telling Glenn that the proposal will “permanently stop economically essential activities like grazing, mineral extraction, modern agriculture” and “severely curtail recreational access.”

“We’re basically talking about the destruction of rural America,” he adds, noting that the move is simply “an effort to take control of America’s natural resources.”

The proposal is “essentially placing a value on natural processes,” Oaks continues, using “biological systems that provide clear air, water, food” as an example.

To put it simply, Oak calls it “just another scam” that uses “God-given processes” at the expense of our country.

“It represents a massive transfer of wealth,” he adds.

Glenn is aware that all of this has seriously far-reaching implications.

“Our food prices will go through the roof,” Glenn says, “and good luck going to a national park.”

“This is so evil. This is so incredibly evil,” he adds.
