To Walter Reuther:
"You're going to have a hard time collecting Union dues from all these machines"...
Reuther:
"Not as hard as you're going to have selling them Cars!

"We need a World where everyone would be able to pay for the
goods and services they NEED
and not just depend on
Charitable handouts!"

"We need a World where everyone can find a job if they want to work, not one that dictates Unemployment to those who cannot create jobs because they can't find the capital.

An example worth emulating

Liberia's Central Bank initiative to support the poor through start-up Capital gives new hope to a population that otherwise would not be able to participate in the economic building process: click next link...

Board of Governors Give Stamp of Approval to Central Bank of Liberia CBL’s Micro-Financing Scheme

“We believe that poverty must be fought where poverty is - all across Liberia, in our counties, in our towns and in our villages. Liberians must be given access to credit so that they can have the opportunity to start businesses, improve their businesses, meet the needs of their families and uplift themselves out of poverty. This contributes to long-term  growth and macroeconomic stability.”

Despite the controversy that this Act seems to have incited, the fundamental fact remains that the poor people of the country have be assisted to engage in economic activity and the proof is in the result or "in the taste of the pudding".

Even the great nations can learn from this example to reduce poverty in their low income communities!

Common Collateral Fund Transforming the World One Small Business at a time through Expanded Capital Ownership
and Credit

Capital Sharing, Inc. is a non-profit organization  promoting employee ownership in new or expanding businesses using financing techniques and strategies that facilitate Shares or stock acquisition by workers on credit, without reducing their take-home pay.  The program addresses the disparity in business capital ownership that has been identified as one of the principal root causes of growing income inequalities in the world between the "Haves" and "Have-nots" and current economic turbulences, without any real solutions in sight, requiring that alternative solutions be implemented to provide real hope for the nearly 98% of humanity that is suffering under the pressures of continued economic uncertainty, rising unemployment and the dangers of global poverty.

Influenced by Norman Kurland’s Capital Homestead strategy, and Louis Kelso's binary economic theory on expanded capital ownership Capital Sharing  examines the reasons why such good ideas that would alleviate economic disparities have taken so long to influence global economic policy. It was concluded that wanting to convince policy makers from the top may delay the results we expect. This group therefore decided to create this forum to raise widespread awareness to the concept of Expanded Capital Ownership, and motivate a  grassroots movement of powerless and capital-less workers so that effective action can begin to influence national and international policy from the bottom-up. The group also aims at promoting increased discussions and debates on this subject which up till now have only been modestly addressed in academia and mostly even ignored in the media and policy arena.

The Truth is often too bitter to handle though it could be the basis of real solutions to humanity's problems. Nonetheless shared-ownership strategies would bear more desirable results if all stakeholders (the Rich, the have-nots, policy makers, community organizers and educators) could honestly work together to build an alternative system geared toward progressively transforming the current system of concentrated capital ownership with its detrimental income-hoarding effects, to a more broad-based income distribution and market-sustaining system, where everyone would be able to pay for the goods and services they NEED and not just depend on Charitable handouts!.

Everyone has been fighting against diseases, illiteracy, hunger, crime ..., all facets of poverty. But who is seriously fighting against "Capital-lessness" or poor access to Capital Credit, a key impediment to economic empowerment facing the majority of humanity? Empowered people are Free from the ills associated with poverty, including crime and war! Empowered people are more confident and contribute to a more peaceful and disciplined community or society. The majority of people don't have access to Productive Capital to start businesses because they're either living paycheck-to-paycheck and can't save or none at all.

It's the reason why the Capital Sharing group has decided to launch the "Common Collateral Fund" to give more people the means to easily start a business without having to face the constraints of Collateral that impedes most people from owning a business and achieving empowerment.
