If Greensboro's Leaders Were Really Interested In Economic Development 33

They would work with neighborhood community leaders to establish Kiva Lending Teams and Kiva Field Partnerships that arrange micro-loans right here in Greensboro, North Carolina using the Kiva platform rather than scraping money off the top to fatten the wallets of our local elitists, "stakeholder" cows. Just as it is being done in Florida's Miami and Dade Counties, San Deigo, California, Texas, San Jose, California and in successful cities around the world.


You see, as more people become stakeholders profits rise overall. (A concept no doubt lost on our current "stakeholders and leaders.") And the beauty of it is, even small time investors could share in the profits while sticking it to the banksters.

You know, if our "leaders" really cared about local small businesses and economic development. You see, giving your neighbors a leg-up instead of screwing them is a very traditional conservative liberal neighborly thing to do.
