The Ownership-Money Circulation Principle
We all know, or should know, that when money circulates within a community/city, that community or city thrives.
We all know, or should know, that when money circulates within a community/city, that community or city thrives.
We all know, or should know, that when most residents work in
the city where they live, and own businesses in the city where they live, that
city is more likely to thrive.
If this is not the case in your city (and it is not the case in Maple Heights), then the
leadership needs to go.
If your city (community) leaders are not laser focused on making
sure you (and all the residents) personally make money,
keep that money, and grow that money, then the
leadership needs to go.
If your leaders are not laser focused on making residents
owners, and talking ownership constantly, then
the leadership needs to go.
What does ownership mean? It means you own your home. It
means you own your own business. It means you’re part
owner in a co-op and credit union. It means you have a
significant voice in the decisions that are made about the
community (city) you live in, and the policies and legislation that are enacted
in the city you live in, which also includes total transparency in public information about your city.
Your mind must be laser focused on ownership, getting (and staying out) of debt, and achieving financial
freedom, and your community/city should be focused on helping you do that.
If your mayor and members of council are not laser focused on making sure you have
ownership, that you keep ownership, that they will do everything within their power to help you
maintain ownership, and that they will help protect what you own,
then they need to go.
Ask yourself, .. Did my mayor and city council do the
above? If not, then they need to go.

Any city or community that is deep in debt, and where the majority of the public employees
live outside the city, is devastating to that community. It means
that a large chunk of your money is leaving your city when it should be
circulating within your city so your community/your city thrives, and you
thrive.
