Our American Economy - Part 1

Common Sense For America

Dear Common Sense Patriots,
Welcome to our educational series where we explore how common sense principles strengthen our country. Common Sense is a pamphlet originally written and published by Thomas Paine in 1776. Paine argues for limited government, tax reformation, and self-sufficiency. In this episode, Bruce covers our American Economy. Think about these ideas not as a partisan political person, but as a patriot. I think you will approach many issues that we face today in a new light.

ABOUT COMMON SENSE:
Thomas Paine's Common Sense argues that concentrated political power, whether in a monarchy or elite class, is unjust and undermines democracy. He advocates for a government accountable to the people, emphasizing transparency, representation, and checks on power. Citizens have the right and responsibility to challenge unjust government actions, making the case for a more participatory, responsive democracy.
