Carl,

I said that there is, in deed, a marginal group of people that have 'no means to make a demand'. In other words, they have no purchasing power whatsoever. Nevertheless, people with a very low disposable income (below your alleged income) have purchasing power... and their demand pattern mostly but not necessarily follows monetary criteria.

In any case, I don't have a problem with the concept of "mostly publically owned companies that are leased to the workers" as long as a) it is not a result of government intervention b) it can sustain itself without government regulation.
