OverviewCommon Sense for Today! is a bold and visionary reimagining of Thomas Paine's revolutionary ideas, brought into the 21st century to address the pressing issues of modern society. In this compelling and thought-provoking book, the author explores how unchecked corporate greed, growing inequality, and political dysfunction have created the need for a new approach to governance-one that puts people, not profits, first. This book presents a comprehensive roadmap for a fairer, more sustainable future, outlining concrete solutions for key societal challenges: Here is a few examples: - Public Ownership of Essential Services: From energy and water to housing and Gasoline production, the book proposes that the government, representing the taxpayers who have funded these systems for decades, should take control of essential services to ensure fairness, accessibility, and sustainability. - Universal Healthcare Focused on Cures: Instead of a system built on treating symptoms, this vision emphasizes prevention, curing diseases, and promoting a healthier lifestyle for all. - Education for All: Higher education is reimagined with an emphasis on accessibility, accountability, and commitment. Students must pass entrance exams and dedicate themselves fully, ensuring a higher standard of learning and reducing waste of public resources. - Legal and Judicial Reform: The book challenges the for-profit nature of legal practices, proposing a system where legal representation is provided by the courts, removing financial barriers and ensuring true justice. In addition, it calls for a re-examination of laws that do not harm others, like open container and jaywalking laws, streamlining the legal system to focus on real harm. - Energy and Sustainability: As society transitions to electric vehicles and green energy, *Common Sense for Today* calls for public ownership of energy production and infrastructure, ensuring fair access and long-term sustainability. It also introduces mandates for solar energy adoption in public spaces and new developments. - Proximity-Based Incentives: Innovative ideas like proximity tax incentives, where both employers and employees benefit from living closer to work, aim to reduce traffic, pollution, and stress on urban infrastructure. Other Tough Issues also addressed: ----Immigration Reform---Gun Control----Fentanyl Crisis----Term Limits for Congress---& so much more, This book doesn't just complain about ''How everything is broken"" it offers real world solutions. The proposals are Bold and would require national unity in accepting some of these radical ideas, but the numbers make sense, Common Sense. *Common Sense for Today!* is not just a book-it's a manifesto for change. Written with clarity and conviction, this book is a must-read for anyone who believes in the power of government to work for the people, and who is ready to explore new ideas for building a society that is fair, just, and sustainable for all.
