People should be our business . . .

Nothing in our national make-up dictates that Capitalism need only work for profitable enterprise where every last dime is rested from the work of others or the last ounce of energy taken from the land. In fact, Adam Smith never said anything of the sort and he was working in a system much the same as Americans find themselves working today: a system where landed gentry are exploiting the land and the people to their own maximum benefit and to hell with the world in general. But Capitalism is not to blame. Greed is to blame. And this greed is both held centrally by a few, and held collectively by many of us who only wish to retire without fear of homelessness and hunger. The people of the United States support the system because they simply have no choice. And there doesn't seem to be any way out of this bad situation without accepting some very bad outcomes. Our collective economic fairies will die if we decide that they don't exist, so we keep clapping our hands . . .

Our farm won't cure what is wrong with the system, but perhaps we can do better for those people who come to us to work. So here is our employment model proposition:

1. We will pay the maximum we can pay to those we hire.
2. We will hire as many as we can without making idle hands, to the point of unprofitability.
3. We will support our peoples' lives in every way we can with as many benefits as we can.
4. And after so period to be determined later we will give our people a lifetime share in ongoing profits. Allowing them to retire, or to continue being involved.

In this way we will eventually give it all away. The entire farm will become employee owned: the lion's share of profits will come to the farm managers (who will retire to other lives every ten years), the employees will be taken care of commensurate with their loyalty, and we will be allowed to help people long after we are gone.

We want to give it all away. And this includes anything we produce which in excess of that we can profit by and split with the people who produced it. And it just so happens there is a plan for giving away the excess too.
