Debt, Stocks, and
Deficit Financing Another Illusion Exposed: Most people think of
corporation stocks as a natural, normal,
healthy part of business life. We
invite you and encourage you to take another
look.
The Positive Side: On the positive
side, selling stocks is a way for a
corporation to finance it's business with
other people's money. It's a way
to do things that otherwise could not be
done. The corporation produces
goods and services and gives a portion of the
profit to the money lender. From a
stock holder perspective, owning stocks is a
way to store wealth for future
use.
The Negative Side: On the negative
side, corporate stocks are burdens
-- profit eaters --
liabilities. Corporate stocks are
certificates of debt.
Unfortunately, in recent years,
publicly traded, corporate
stocks have become one of the major tools of
the money manipulators.²
The focus
has turned away from borrowing money to
produce goods and services to borrowing money
to lend to someone else for
profit.
As a result, most major corporations have
been turned into money machines
feeding profits to their big-money lenders (the major stockholders) and to
the financial manipulators. This
is being done with utter disregard for the
corporation's employees, their customers, and the
environment. The corporation's physical products
and/or its services have become by-products in a money
machine. Employees are treated as little more than
disposable tools to be used for the production of money. Their entire
reason for being has become: "To produce money for the major
investors and for the money manipulators."
The Cardinal Rule:
Debt costs money. It costs
freedom. The bigger
the debt, the more it costs. Unless you can borrow
low and lend high, the only sensible answer to owing money is "Get our of debt
as quickly as possible." When you need
to borrow money to do
things that you otherwise couldn't do, you borrows money, but you pay it back as quickly as possible. Presently corporations borrow
money and never pay off their debts. If you, as an individual,
did that, you'd be either stuck hopelessly in debt or a
fool.
One, Ten, or Ten Thousand: If you,
as an individual, had a large debt that you were servicing, the money to pay the interest and to pay off the
debt would come from your earnings.
Money would be diverted away from taking care of yourself and
and your family. Iinstead, your
money would be used to pay your lenders. If
the sum total and purpose of your life was to
make money for your money-lenders use, you
would be considered to be a slave or
crazy.
The number of
people on the debtors side of this equation is irrelevant. Common
sense tells us that if two people, or
ten, or then thousand people,
collectively, live their lives for the
purpose of paying money to lenders, that's
also crazy. The same
principle applies to
corporations. Presently
corporations borrow money and never pay off their
debts. That's financial
insanity!
The Lending Disease: In this distorted
atmosphere, corporate leaders are forced to
focus on profit to produce money to pay the
lenders. They have been pointed in
a destructive direction and given a
false sense of purpose. Their obligations
to their employees, to their customers, and to the
environment is being all but completely
ignored. And not because they are
bad people, but because they are stuck in a
dysfunctional context -- the context of
unending debt.
The Cure: If they eliminated
most of (or all) their loans using the New
Corporate World Foundation's suggested
process, as
described on this website,² their purpose for being would
make a major shift. When a
significant number of corporations eliminate
their debts, this shift of purpose will change
the world. In the debt-free
corporation, everybody gets a fair share
of the profits. Production
of quality goods and services will replace the
present, single-minded focus on paying money
to investors. Management, the
employees, the remaining stock holders,
and the environment will also receive their due
consideration.
A simple Change of Context: The New
Corporate World Foundation's goal is to
make this incredible simple shift in the
context² in which a corporation does
business. If you know anything about
history, your know that there
has always been, and still is, an endless war
over money between management (agents of
the owners and the major stock holders) and
the employees. In the context proposed by
the New Corporate World Foundation, the war is
automatically over.
Everyone works as partners.
Fighting is replaced by cooperation and mutual
support.
What is a corporation's obligations to its
employees? The answer to this question depends upon one's
perspective. From the present, cut-throat,
dog-eat-dog, profits-at-any-cost perspective, the answer is "None!"
If you open your heart, a whole raft of reasons float into
mind. The New Corporate World Foundation's
goal is to expand a corporation's
purpose to include the employees, the managers, the customers and the
environment. The new context does not taking anything away.
It simply gives corporations an expanded
sense of purpose.
The process is incredible
simple. Here it is in four words: GET OUT OF
DEBT! (Eliminating most of corporate debt
is incredible easy by using the New Corporate World
Foundation's suggested process, as
described on this website.²)
When a significant number of corporations actually do this, the consequences
will be phenominal beyond words. This will literally transform the
entire planet, that is if we don't kill ourselves in the mean time by
ignoring Global Climate Change.²
Please
remember that eliminating the debt is only the
first step. When a huge piece of
the corporate profits is no longer feeding the
money lenders, where is that money going to
go? It will be distribute out into
the rest of society.
To get a
clearer picture of this, let's look at the
process from the perspective of you as an
individual. Unless you are one of
the rare people who live in his/her home owned
free and clear, you are feeding the
money-lender's cash-cow. When you write
your mortgage or your rent check, a huge
portion of that money goes to money lenders
who hold a financial interest in the property
you are living in. Now imagine you
suddenly find a way or completely eliminate
that debt. When that large portion
of you income no longer goes to the money
lenders, you have a major increase in your
discretionary income. You get to
decide what to do with that money and how to
spend it. The same principle
applies to a corporation.
The reduction and/or elimination of unnecessary corporate debt will produce a redistribution of wealth on the
planet at a level never seen or even imagined before.
And
in case you have forgotten, money is one of the world's three main movers
and shakers. (The other two are religious beliefs, and
sex.) You may have to think about this for a moment because the
benefits will come through by indirection. Here's how:
When billions of
dollars are no longer going into the pockets of the super-wealthy, they will
be going to the foundations beneficiaries --
the employees (including management), the customers, the environment, and to
the remaining stockholders.
As just one
example of this, you are invited to examine what Social Security would have been if the assets had been used to create an
investment portfolio and not stolen and spent by the
bureaucrats. See the page title: What
Social Security Was Supposed to Be²
The main difference between what Social Security was supposed to be and The
New Corporate World is that NCW will have thousands of
independent, privately controlled, investment portfolios
and not just a single huge one. It's only a matter of time
before NCW's collective financial power becomes so strong that it transforms
the financial world.
Eventually and by peaceful evolution,
the present society which is based upon
debt,² competition, and greed will be replaced by a society
based on cooperation, co-creation, and mutual
support. Everyone
will be in the winner's circle. Through
Foundation stock ownership, everyone will get a share of
the corporate benefits. There simply aren't
any losers.
The super-wealthy and the money-manipulators will actually be the biggest
winners. They're stuck in a very destructive loop that has
gotten so far out of hand that they are on a path to self-destruction.
If they do not wake up very soon, Global Warming will kill
most large life forms on the planet, including the super-wealthy and the
money-manipulators.² TNCW
is derailing this destructive cycle in a very positive way. It's
about making the pie bigger and not about
fighting and destroying. Nothing will be taken away from the
wealthy.
We are not fighting anything.
We're simply creating a replacement structure that has a
greater value than that which it is replacing. When
people see the increased value in The New Corporate World's structure, they will simply leave the old ways and move to the
new. That's how cars replaced the horse and buggy.
That's how computers replaced typewriters. That's how light replaces
dark and how order replaces confusion.
(Too Good to Be True)²
Remember, The Universal Law of Thought² tells us that we
empower what we focus on. We (TLC-Life-Center) are
focused on creating a win/win for everybody. If you or
anybody you know can show us the downside of this concept, we'd love to here it.² Also, we invite and
we
challenge you or anybody else to prove us wrong.²
The
power of money is presently being used to
manipulate, dominate, destroy, and control.
The present misuse of The Power of Money has
humanity on the brink of a global-level,
environmental disaster ² equal in significance
and magnitude to environmental changes which
caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Pay particular attention to
these four pages:
 The Federal Reserve Fractional Reserves Inflation The Curse of Debt
The New
Corporate World Foundation is still
in the formative stages and can only succeed
as a cooperative effort. Please help us
make this vitally needed tool a functional
reality. Help us create The New
Corporate World. Be one of the
leaders of this planetary transformation.
The next
step is publicizing this concept, generating
the initial donations, and setting up the
legal structure called The New
Corporate World Foundation.
Help us create The New Corporate World
Foundation. In the mean
time, TLC-Life-Center is the functioning
focal point. Please contact us.² You can also send a tax-deductible gift to
TLC-Life-Center.²
Please remember that
for a corporation to set up its own Foundations and
transfer
ownership of its stock to that Foundation is only the
beginning step. This change is
vitally important because it produces a new context² -- a
context within which major changes are then
possible.
In exchange for your assistance with our
program, we
(TLC-Life-Center) will apply our expertise
in guiding you and your organization as you
step into this new version. Please contact
