Money might not make the world go round for the protesters in New York Citys Zuccotti Park, but its certainly starting to help. The movement, which has been described as organized anarchy with no presiding leader, has its very own finance team to handle the influx of donations which totaled more than $50,000 Tuesday the group has received. The money is now being kept in a credit union account at the Amalgamated Bank.
[It's a sign] were growing very fast, said Bre Lembitz, a senior economics major at Clark University who is spending this semester working with Occupy Wall Street after her internship fell through.
Lembitz said the move to a bank has made it easier for the group to accept larger donations.
The money was previously kept in pots, which were used to collect money from passersby sympathetic to the cause.
Currently, any expenditure of $100 or more is voted on at the General Assembly, a daily meeting for everyone in the park to learn the latest Occupy Wall Street news. Anyone who shows up has a vote.

Does anyone doubt that when these two groups get together that things are going to get ugly ?
“Cracks me up the way theyre playing pretend government with a general assembly. Like a bunch of 10 year old girls. (You know, the bossy ones)”
So there are privileged occupiers who get to make the decisions for others. And they aren’t elected. Where have we seen this before?
“er whos name is on the account. They can take that money and ride off into the Sunset. Of course, why do it while there are still suckers out there flooding the money in.”
Are taxes being paid on these funds? If the organization isn’t formally set up as a nonprofit, taxes are owed.
Are these protesters ‘true believers’ in their hatred of capitalism?
Here’s a simple test: Go to the top of the building on a windy day and throw out a bushel basket full of twenty dollar bills.
It will not only show if they really believe in their ‘cause’ but quickly send them scattering all over Wall Street chasing their REAL beliefs.
