The “We The People” Stimulus Package & The 2nd American Revolution - “Common Sense” From A Modern Day Thomas Paine

In 1776 one of our founding fathers Thomas Paine, anonymously published a pamphlet entitled “Common Sense” (http://www.constitution.org/civ/comsense.htm) which challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The plain language that Paine used resonated with the common man and was the first publication to openly push for independence from Great Britain.

Maintaining “the cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind,” Paine passionately argued for independence from Great Britain, and painted the picture of a prosperous future, if freed from the oppressive and economically draining English government.

Now two hundred and thirty three years later, America once again finds itself being taxed without representation, and being drained economically by an oppressive government. This time, it’s own government run amuck.

What would Thomas Paine say about America’s plight today?
