Owners of for-profit corporations cannot help the Consumers because their Investors demand Profit which only occurs if the Product is sold. The Product does not need to be sold if the co-owners of the means of production are the very same people who will Consume that Product. Profit measures consumer dependence, and is *eliminated* when the Investor is the Consumer who will accept Product as the Return for risk. Profit collected from non-owners (on the growth-edge) must be treated as the Payer's Investment so each Consumer becomes a co-owner in the means of production for that which he needs the outputs causing that Payer to slowly accumulate the property ownership needed to stop buying Product - for the co-owner of a cow does not buy milk because he own his % already. The idea is to organize Consumers to pre-pay for some good or service (say cell-phone service), and then use those funds to purchase the hardware needed to achieve that goal so that we can finally send messages to each other for the *real* Costs of those messages instead of padding the pockets of those who intend to forever keep us in subjugation in their quest to keep Price above Costs.
