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.

Join our pack of patriots every other Thursday on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms. You will be sure to engage with thought-provoking content that challenges perspectives and inspires action. History is Our Story — together, we shape the narrative.

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 the need for greater transparency, representation, and checks on executive power. Paine also stresses that citizens have the right and responsibility to challenge unjust government actions, making the case for a more participatory and responsive democratic system.
