"Introduction

We don’t need Wall Street anymore. It’s killing us to let Wall Street keep going the way it is. Our governments won’t help us—Wall Street dominates them. But there is a way around Wall Street. Direct routes are open for individuals and businesses to bypass Wall Street."

In addition: As socially responsible individuals and business owners we can CHOOSE to set up a national effort to contribute to a grassroots organization dedicated to displace/replace the inefficient government programs which are supposed to train, feed, clothe, provide medical, dental, vision care and house the nation's displaced, disabled, unemployed and unemployable that are rife with red tape, wasted paperwork and time that cost our nation billions over the years.

If anyone knows of any concerned individuals and/or small or privately owned businesses involved in this sort of grassroots effort, please post any links you have.

Yes, there are private foundations/charitable private organizations that offer these things, but anyone needing their assistance must seek them out AND there are the formalities of paperwork. If someone is seeking grant money (a form of finance that is a gift vs. a loan) most foundations require professionally drafted applications that fit the guidelines for grants that for the grantor allow for tax benefits by granting too.

As a 99er and 99%er I too am career and economically displaced I know that the process for myself and others like me towards self sufficiency would go much faster if there was a grassroots private organization such as this.

Another thought and this relates to Veterans, one thing that blows me away is that dental care and dentures are not available under Veteran's medical programs unless the Veteran is a Purple Heart Vet or a former POW. This runs right along with full dental care for all since appearance and self esteem suffer and can limit those seeking employment and even more importantly, if someone is a diabetic, without dentures those without teeth are limited to the foods they can eat and over time the longer someone goes without teeth/dentures the faster health can deteriorate leading to a shortened life span. It just boggles my mind that there has not been a privately funded program to provide dental care and dentures for those who cannot afford them for whatever reason.
