Why Does This Have a Faint Whiff Of Hypocrisy?

Wow, what a joke! Last year my wife got a Wachovia account just for eBay. This year Wachovia got taken over by Wells Fargo. Without notice, BOOM $5/month checking account fees. That account will be closed soon.

This just helps prove many ofthese protesters are simply useful idiots.
 
Seems that the money was deposited into a pre-existing lawyer's client trust account that happened to be at Wells Fargo. Still a bonehead move - these guys need to have better awareness of their PR vulnerabilities.

Tim Fong, a California attorney, offered to accept the donation in his Wells Fargo client trust account.

I guess that was the account he had for immediate deposit.
The fact that it will be moved is still sending a message to the banks.

as long as people keep moving their money out of these big banks it will have an effect.
It's not always easy to move money around, especially if you are a middle class person. You might have direct deposit, people need time to research the best local bank, how close is it, etc.
already a large amount has been moved.
Any news about money being moved is good publicity for the middle class

Consumer driven economics will force more money away from Banksters, as long as there arealternatives. Mean while, back at the real world which most of us live in: http://usdebtclock.org/ as by next Friday, we will be pasted the $15 Trillion dollars in debt threshold. Funny those Occupy Not On Wall Street Lung people haven't been protesting that little fact as we slip into economic hell and the Global Elites dance.

Indeed.
One of the things that struck me about our, local "occupy" group is how incoherent some of them appear to be. There was a spoeskwoman for them on BBC Radio Scotland the other day.
The city council wanted them out of George Square (main sqaure in town) before remebrence day, so came to an agreement to move them to a patch of grass in the West End, near Glasgow University.
The council have agreed to provide toilet facilities and security fencing (after on of them was raped). As part of the radio interview, it was pointed out that whilst many people sympathise with their anger over global corporations, etc, they are now a willing and official burden on the tax payer. She was asked if it wouldn't be better to occupy some land owned by a PLC, and let them pick up the tab.
She had absolutely no answer to this and came across as confused about why she was there at all.

Really poor show because I tend to agree with them on the main points but things like this don't help their case at all.
 
meanwhile..... Finally, a Judge Stands up to Wall Street

the fact of the #Occupy reality is that it shows most people are incredibly fed up. All of them may not know exactly what to do about, but many already have done something and the ball is rolling down the hill, picking up steam.
 
Reinstate the act GLASS-STEAGALL....It makes the Wall Street games illegal

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass–Steagall_Act --- Wiki entry summary: The repeal of provisions of the Glass–Steagall Act of 1933 by the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act effectively removed the separation that previously existed between investment banking which issued securities and commercial banks which accepted deposits. The deregulation also removed conflict of interest prohibitions between investment bankers serving as officers of commercial banks. Most economists believe this repeal directly contributed to the severity of the Financial crisis of 2007–2011 by allowing Wall Street investment banking firms to gamble with their depositors' money that was held in commercial banks owned or created by the investment firms.
