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.

"We should eliminate corporate income tax! Think about it. These taxes are passed on the consumer and employees in the form of higher costs and lower wages."

This Part 2 Episode continues on the topic of fair tax reform. Bruce shares his ideas on how every American should have a $50,000 automatic tax deduction. Simultaneously, we are strengthening our tax system if we follow these steps.
