Poor Richard Reborn on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 1:14:22 PM
Only YOU can make it happen…
Ben Franklin wrote a treatise entitled The Way to Wealth in which the original Poor Richard Saunders outlined the wisdom of the day by reporting a talk given by “Father Abraham”. He talked to a group of citizens, just prior to an auction, about everything from savings and debt to taxes and big government. At the conclusion, Poor Richard wrote: “Thus [Father Abraham] ended his harangue. The people heard it and approved the doctrine, and immediately practiced the contrary…”
Poor Richard, Reborn begs you:
“Please, don’t be like the people at that auction 200 years ago.”
- The current system of taxation is broken beyond repair.
- The only way the American people – you and I – will ever escape from this monster is to kill it completely and replace it with a 21st century system that recognizes and corrects the errors of the past.
- Our elected officials will not change the system that keeps laying golden eggs in their nests.
- The lobbyists are too powerful. America needs to rid itself of them.
- The election process has become perverted by influence peddlers and ideologues who care only for their issues and care not about America
- There is no reasonable health care solution forthcoming from the Congress or the White House or any candidates for those offices…all of the proposals they are parading before you are designed by money hungry special interest groups or power grabbing politicians and are not in the common interest
- Retirement planning has become a patchwork quilt of plans and programs that carry large price tags and promise only mediocre results[1]
The 33% Solution resolves all of these issues in your favor. Use the system to change the system…Contact your Congressperson, your Senator, and the White House and tell them to adopt The 33% Solution.[2]
Contact your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, doctor, dentist…anyone you can think of… and refer them to The 33% Solution web site and encourage them to buy a copy of The 33% Solution.

Tell them to contact Congress with the message:
IT’S TIME - Adopt The 33% Solution.
“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.” Thomas Paine ________________________________________________________________________
If not you – who? If not now – when?
We need to send MILLIONS of messages to Washington D.C. to make this happen.
Respectfully and hopefully submitted for your serious consideration…
July 4, 2007 Poor Richard, Reborn
PS – Poor Richard is not naïve. Even if millions of Americans demand this change, the congress will fool with it and try to reinvent their Golden Goose. Poor Richard encourages every person who reads this essay to go to www.33percentsolution.com
and add their opinions, comments and observations. Poor Richard is certain that there are dozens, hundreds or even thousands of ideas that would improve The 33%
[1] A recent study predicts that 90% of baby boomers will rely on the government, family or continued work during retirement.
