So Simple Even A Politician Can Understand
()
About this ebook
Sometimes the answers we seek are so simple that we overlook them. The ideas presented in this book are just that, simple ideas that are largely overlooked. These are simple ideas that anyone, including politicians, can understand. They may not be perfect solutions. They may not even be solutions at all, which is why they are called ideas.
In SO SIMPLE EVEN A POLITICIAN CAN UNDERSTAND, Peter puts forth some ideas that would greatly simplify government. Politics does not have to be complicated and convoluted. We The People, have to find people willing to put forth simple ideas again. This book is examples of simple ideas that would go a long way to solving some big problems.
Peter Serefine
Meet Peter Serefine: A U.S. Navy veteran and dedicated U.S. Mail carrier, Peter embodies the spirit of service. With a solid high school education and a role as a Pennsylvania State Constable, he's deeply rooted in his community. Amid the turbulent political landscape of 2016, Peter, a representative of the dwindling middle class, felt a calling to bring about change. His initial creation, "Progress, Really?", aimed to ignite critical thinking about the course of societal and political progress. But Peter's impact didn't stop there. His passion for enlightenment led him to establish the Liberty Lighthouse, a beacon of insight for those navigating the complexities of today's world. Not content with just inspiring through words, he created the online Liberty Lighthouse Classroom, a virtual space where the principles of constitutional governance are shared to empower others. In the midst of a full schedule that includes a demanding full-time job, op-ed article writing, and book publishing, Peter dedicates two hours each week to host a live radio show. His residence in a quaint Victorian town in Pennsylvania serves as a backdrop to his life's endeavors. Sharing this journey is Staisha Hancock, Peter's cherished partner, whose unwavering patience beautifully accommodates his passionate political discussions. Peter Serefine embodies the essence of dedication, a true advocate for knowledge and change within his community and beyond.

Foreword
This new book from Peter Serefine sports a title as self-explanatory as one can be. He even opens with the statement that sometimes the answers we seek are so simple that we overlook them.
A series of short essays prompted by guests Mr. Serefine featured on his podcast Liberty Lighthouse, he further qualifies that he isn’t presuming to have the solution, which is why they are called ideas.
With those two introductory remarks as a guidepost, Mr. Serefine has already displayed two attributes that many of our politicians could benefit from: an eye toward clarity and a modicum of humility. However, I don’t think his target audience here are members of the political class. Rather, he presents these ideas for the rest of us who find our lives affected by politicians and government.
In these pages, Mr. Serefine examines topics from money spent to legislation itself, and while the categories may be wide-ranging, they can basically be divided into the fiscal and the social. Fiscal issues such as taxation methods, government contracts, budgets, and the yoke of bureaucracy are looked at, and always with an eye toward making the confusing simple (as promised). Societal issues such as immigration and gender identity are observed as well.
Readers may disagree with some of Mr. Serefine’s proposed approaches if they so choose,
