Dawn Brohawn, "Why Do We Need the Capital Homestead Act?", 2011 "Own the Fed" Rally

Dawn Brohawn, Director of Communications of the Center for Economic and Social Justice and member of the Coalition for Capital Homesteading, delivers a message from Mrs. Barbara Olson of Henderson, Nevada, an 81-year-old widow and grandmother living on Social Security, who explains why America's political leaders and media should heed Louis Kelso's "Own or be Owned" message of expanded capital ownership. Brohawn reinforces this by asking "Why Do We Need the Capital Homestead Act?" Looking at the bleak economic outlook faced by many citizens in America and the world, she answers that to survive and thrive in a technologically advancing, globalized economy, each of us needs an independent source of income, beyond jobs or welfare, from our own productive capital. The Capital Homestead Act would provide the means for enabling each citizen to participate fully in the economy as the masters, and not the slaves, of labor-replacing technology and those who own it.
