Call the irony police! Those oh-so-pure rebels of Occupy Wall Street, so adored by the progressive media despite the crime wave engendered at their camps, are planning to get into the money business themselves.

Sometimes the entertainment value of the left wing crazies almost justifies their existence.

Looks like they're basically setting up a credit union.

What's wrong with that?

Hopefully they'll start issuing sub-prime mortgages as well.

There was never any crime wave that you speak of, that was just FAUX News spreading the lie to their 60 to 70 something audience.

Why don't we have a debit card for all the Republican geezers on Medicare and that are pushing us further into debt? We could start with having them actually pay for what they put into Medicare which isn't that much. After about five years and age 70 they would be tapped out. That would be a winner for everyone. Even Tea Partiers would love the personal responsibility...nope.

Something lost on conservatives in Congress is there is a difference between Capitalism and predatory Capitalism.

This is the problem. It's not just Fox News slamming Occupy or MSNBC slamming the Tea Party. It's the establishment of both parties attacking both of them.

There are many (D)'s here but how many defend Occupy? Occupy and the Tea Party (and when I say Tea Party I do not mean Michelle Bachmann Tea Party) is trying to upset the cart and those in the cart don't much care for that.
