More Common Sense

About the Book

The book contains the seminal considerations of "Ripple Theory Economics" which could displace "Trickle Down Theory" which just doesn't work in the real world. The book was written between 1991 and 2002 and the economic theory is now much more advanced. A revision is in the works to more fully outline the economic theory. Safety net Theory, taxation theory and money theory contained in the book need updating. I'm more of an ivory tower intellectual and I am certain that very few economists will find my thinking mainstream. Out on a limb all by myself, AGAIN, but the book will point the better minds in the right direction. My communication skills as a writer are limited so I am seeking a ghost writer to help with the revisions but I believe this book should remain available, as is, because of the importance of the economic theory. It is difficult for me to communicate the relative importance of some ideas with the written word as there are some concepts in this book that should be printed in 6000 point red ink. Chapter 3 contains a Bill of Responsibilities that needs to be amended to the United States Constitution so that the country can evolve into a more balanced democracy. I don't plan much of a revision for this chapter. I do want to make the book available to veterans and Farmers as an e-book with a minimal 25 cent royalty so that they could discuss the nature of a Bill of Responsibilities at the VFW's all over the country. (Without closing the bar) Hopefully they will bar the politicians, lawyers and Fat Lazy bankers from the debate. I believe myself to be an excellent two-bit author, we'll see if the vets and the farmers agree.

About the Author

Poor Richard is just another "beautiful mind" trying to stay one step ahead of the shrinks. I grew up in a small Midwestern town but spent 3 years in an orphanage after my father passed away when I was 12 years old. I attended college briefly until what limited money I had ran out and I am essentially self-educated in the fields of jurisprudence, economics and political theory. I joined the Navy's nuclear program shortly after Richard Nixon got kicked out of Washington and qualified as a reactor operator on a Polaris boat. After leaving the Navy I worked as an owner operator in the trucking business because there were not that many jobs available in commercial nuclear plants after 3-Mile Island. I worked conjunctively with my brother in farming trying to go organic. I was diagnosed with mental illness in 1986 and spent 16 years on the disabled list. I have been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and using a CPAP machine is a successful treatment. I should never have been diagnosed with mental illness as I have probably had this sleep disorder for thirty years. I have had the main concept for this book since 1991 and been working at it since then by putting my nose in a lot of other people's books. This book is the most difficult thing I have ever attempted other than quitting smoking. The title really controlled what was included in the book and hopefully the reader will consider the contents worthy of the title.
