The planned community is to be called Independence U.S.A. \u2013 a sort of a libertarian utopia \u2013 and comes in at a hefty 2 billion dollars. It\u2019s hard to tell if this is all just poppy-cock or if he\u2019s really going to sink some of his bijillions he\u2019s made into the idea (which will most certainly fail). He\u2019s clearly spent a lot of money already, coming up with 3D animation of the city and drawings of some of the buildings.<\/p>\n<p>This video was produced by someone named Brian Sack, who apparently has a show that airs on Beck\u2019s own online channel The Blaze.
