A Review of Our Proposed Foundations
There are about 3,500 counties or
county-equivalent political structures in the United States. Our
proposals suggest creating three cooperating yet independent networks of
non-government, non-big-business, no-profit foundations. In our
proposed structure, each county has three foundations. Each is
controlled directly by the citizens of the county, and is intentionally created
outside of the control of any and all, existing political and corporate entities. The people of
the county, state, and nations respectively, are the named beneficiaries of the
foundations. The people are also, by electing the foundation's
management teams, the ultimate controllers of the foundation's assets.
An
Alternative to Taxation:
The independence of these foundations dramatically reduces the need for the traditional
taxation structure where the government simply declares itself to be the ruler
of all who reside within its jurisdiction and then proceeds to demand money from
the people under threat of violence against those who do not pay the extortion
fees. With the proposed NPO structures, a very significant portion
of the money to run the
government agencies comes from profits
and not from extortion. This is a complete reversal of the way
government presently finance their activities.
This system has the potential to
completely eliminate taxation. We won't know the full extent of
their financial potential until the network of foundations are actually
functioning.
Another significant attribute is
that the government bureaucrats who want foundation money must come to the
foundations with requests for money. The foundation directors
(under the ultimate control of the people of the
county) decide what money goes where and for what purposes.
This system dramatically reduces the potential for anyone to misuse the
foundations' financial power for political control or for personal gain at the
expense of others.
The
Services Provided: The
foundations, either directly, or indirectly, (by establishing a foundation owned
for-profit corporation) provide a specific set of services. The
profits from these services are directed to the foundation's beneficiaries.
The beneficiaries are the county residents, state residents, and nation
residents, respectively.
The
Public Service Banking Foundations:
** Beneficiaries -- The citizens of the county.
**
Services Provided: Home loans, Small business loans, Auto loans,
Student loans, and Personal loans.
** How the profits are used:
** Ten percent is placed in profit-producing investments
and is never spent.
For example, the foundation could buy stock in a corporation.
**
Ten percent can be used to purchase any assets the foundations chooses
to purchase.
** Eighty percent goes to the named
beneficiaries.
The
Insurance Foundations:
** Beneficiaries: The citizens of the state.
**
Services provided: Homeowner insurance, Auto insurance,
Health insurance, Business insurance.
** How the profits
are used:
** Ten percent is placed in profit-producing
investments
and is never spent.
For example, the foundation could buy stock in a corporation.
**
Ten percent can be used to purchase any assets the foundations chooses
to purchase.
** Eighty percent goes to the named
beneficiaries.
The
Credit Card Foundations:
Beneficiaries: The citizens of the United Sates
Services provided: Credit card lending.
** How
the profits are used:
** Ten percent can be used to
purchase any assets the
foundations chooses to purchase.
** Ninety percent is used
to purchase stock in corporations leasing
public property for any reason such as coal, oil, and/or any other
land use rights.
** Also the foundations may choose to pool
their resources and literally purchase controlling interests in corporations
that are destroying any irreplaceable natural resource
such as the last of the virgin redwood forests. For an example and
for instruction on how to do this, readers are directed to:

** The profits from the investments and
only the profits are
then directed to the foundation's named beneficiaries.
Priorities: Priority One
for all three foundations is to first direct the profits into building the
county's infrastructure for Emergency Preparedness and Public Safety.

Creating a Real Free Market: What is presently
labeled a free market is actually not a free market, it's a make-believe
free market. In reality, it's an
exploitation market in which the super-wealthy (by way of the major
corporations) exploit everything and every one, including the Earth's
environment in their thirst for more money.

Why the super-wealthy are obsessed with collecting more money is answered on the
page titled:
Why?
Why? Why?)
Three Foundations in Each County:
The services provided by these
foundations are not in any way inhibiting or restricting the existing
for-profit corporations that are presently providing an incredibly poor quality
versions of these services.
We are simply offering the potential customers another place to take their
business and spend their money. This is, after all, what the
so-called free market proponents say that they want -- no government
interference --no government competition -- a completely free market.
The customer makes the final decision.
Please Be Aware:
The Powers that Be will resist and fight
any and all efforts to establish this network of foundations. Why?
Because customers who are now paying excessively high prices for shoddy products
and services will take their business to these new foundations. When
that happens, The Powers that Be
will lose their cash cows. They will lose the sources of income
through which they are presently raking
in hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
They'll resist the establishment
of
Pēp-Fo for
the same reason why they are keeping certain drugs illegal. The illegal drug
business is a 500 billion dollar a year, secret cash cow for somebody.
It doesn't take Einstein or Sherlock Holmes to figure where all the cash is
going and whose laundering all that money.
