COMMENTS ON THE FLAWS OF OUR
GOVERNMENT AND SOCIETY IN GENERAL
WITH CONCISE REMARKS ON
CAPITALISM AND RELIGION
Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense, Philadelphia, Feb. 14, 1776.
"In the following pages, I offer nothing more than simple facts, plain
arguments, and common sense; and have no other preliminaries to settle
with the reader, than that he will divest himself of prejudice and
prepossession, and suffer his reason and his feelings to determine for
themselves; that he will put on, or rather that he will not put off the
true character of a man, and generously enlarge his views beyond the
present-day."
There are immoral minorities, but no immoral majorities. Most people are moral and that is why democracy is the best form of government.
In order to save our world, we must, at times, be disturbingly frank, painfully truthful.
What Are People Saying About Common Sense & Reason?
In this book:
Issues to be discussed:
Tax Structure: the old "taxation without representation" adding the question of "taxation without benefits", which is the growing problem today!
Advertising Industries: false representation of products.
Monopoly: the temptation to steal from the public if you own a whole industry.
Planned Obsolescence: using poor-quality workmanship and materials in order to sell more products at higher profits.
Saving The Planet: poor government and industry conservation and preservation policies.
Stock Market: the possibility of phasing out The Market or at least ending the Ponzi scheme aspect of it.
Military And War: the possibility of scaling down our military and rethinking the value of war to the citizens of the world.
Representational Form of Government: consider phasing it out, yet keeping democracy, of course, by instituting retinal scanning electronic voting for all issues that concern you.
