    Where do they get the business owner who wants to do that? Can it happen? Sure, it has. But thats not going to happen for most bussiness operation in capitalist countries. Can workers get the money to buy out their owners? Sure. But that’s not super likely in most situations either.

      I know several people who have gifted their business to the employees. It isn’t that uncommon. Typically it is people who have families that do not want the business or they don’t have a family to give the business too. In my case I was moving and didn’t want to try to run it remove. It my friends case the family wanted to retire and had no children…

      Don’t forget these are not million dollars businesses. We are not talking handing someone a check for 5 million dollars. It is a running, profitable business that they can down.
