Deoccupy Wall Street
Bank of America has backed away from its proposed $5/month debit card fee in the wake of massive customer outrage, but you know it's a safe bet they'll just find some sneakier way to siphon money out of customer accounts to replace lost revenue from other sources. Why give your money to the "too big to fail" banks so they can hire high-powered lobbyists to make sure the regulations work in the banks' favor? Do like thousands of people all over the country are doing and move your money from the big national banks to smaller local ones. The Move Your Money web site tells you how and why to do it, and why it's to your advantage.
