Fresh idea out !!. Find those in 99% those who still own land or farms. Collaborate and grow Organic produce /food... do not sell this food to government or do not trade this in commodity exchange. Circulate and barter it with the 99% who could buy this food in-exchange of their labor or services or money.

This is needed to occupy monsanto like corporation who have contaminated our food supply. Make sure you do not use Genetically modified seeds.

Barter Exchanges

A barter exchange is any person or organization with members or clients that contract with each other (or with the barter exchange) to jointly trade or barter property or services. The term does not include arrangements that provide solely for the informal exchange of similar services on a noncommercial basis.

The Internet has provided a medium for new growth in the bartering exchange industry. This growth prompts the following reminder: Barter exchanges are required to file Form 1099-B for all transactions unless certain exceptions are met.

Under the exceptions, barter exchanges are not required to file Form 1099-B for:

  1. Exchanges through a barter exchange having fewer than 100 transactions during the year.
  2. Exempt foreign persons as defined in Regulations section 1.6045-1(g) (1).
  3. Exchanges involving property or services with a fair market value of less than $1.00.
  4. Transaction involving corporate members or clients of barter exchange may be reported on an aggregate basis.

A completely logical idea. You should repost this tomorrow so more people can comment on it.

Here's some info. on one guy who did it and an example for anyone looking to do as he did.

I found out about him by watching the indie documentary on Netflix which you can also buy direct from him titled 'The Real Dirt on Farmer John' Talk about a man with a love for his true calling, a man who lost everything and then got it all back again doing things the way he knows they need to be done in a holistic manner for others and the environment:
