2 Paragraphs 4 Liberty- Best Seller Publishing Amazon #1 Best Selling Author Award!

Book Alert: 2 Paragraphs 4 Liberty: Solutions that are Practical, Effective, Responsible, Libertarian

As you know, I have been sending out our 2 Paragraphs series each week for more than the past three years.  I have mostly done this to contrast how governments address various problems, as opposed to how private individuals and the Free Market address them, and what results we have seen in each case.

So now, in furtherance of that effort, I have compiled about 180 of the present 220 editions into a book entitled “2 Paragraphs 4 Liberty: Solutions that are Practical, Effective, Responsible, Libertarian.”  This book is now carried as a Kindle on Amazon.  So the favor is for each of you to spend/invest 99 cents and purchase the Kindle version of the book.  Then, please at least review the book and send in a review to Amazon, and pass along this request to your friends and social network as well and ask them to do the same.  The plan is that if the book receives enough either 4 or 5-star reviews within the next two to three weeks that it will forever be known as an “Amazon Best Seller.”  So when the printed version is published around the end of November, it will carry that label.  And this will strongly promote these discussions!

You can find out more information about the book at this site: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YQCMLNP?pf_rd_p=183f5289-9dc0-416f-942e-e8f213ef368b&pf_rd_r=MB2KK1C071TFH8R95BHW.  Or, you can click HERE to order my book directly. 

I know that most of you are already familiar with the book’s contents.  But before you send in a review, please at least scroll through at least half of the book, because Amazon can tell if you have gone through it at least that far. And if you haven’t, Amazon will not consider your review.

Thanks Big Time, and let’s promote Liberty together!

2 PARAGRAPHS 4 LIBERTY: #230 "IN PRAISE OF SPECIAL FAVORS FOR AMAZON"

          Last year when Amazon was shopping for a location for its second headquarters, many states, counties and cities attempted to win that prize by offering Amazon special inducements.  Those included special treatment for purposes of taxes, zoning, impacts upon the environment and more.  Why would these governmental entities make such offers?  Transparently, they  were made because the offers would be of benefit to the company.  I think we would all agree about those benefits, so to all of them I give my praise!

         Obviously, where this huge company would move and do business would bring many benefits to that community.  Those benefits would include more investments and more jobs for workers, which would then, in turn, support the local barbershops, restaurants, stores, medical clinics and more.  All of this would then have increased the financial base of the community, and would also have provided much more tax revenue for all of those governments.  As such, all of these offers were legitimate and, in that regard, probably should have been increased.  So everyone would have won.  Well Done!  Oh, but just one more thing: If it would have been good for Amazon, it would be good for all other businesses as well, large and small, for exactly the same reasons.  So all of those offers should now be made to all businesses, so everyone would win also for exactly the same reasons!  It would not only be fair, it would be smart! 

Thought for the week:  Behind every successful man is a surprised mother-in-law.
