To mark the second anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement last month, an assortment of protests, marches and rallies were held, to support or oppose mostly predictable causes.

At the same time, a far more surprising undertaking began with far less fanfare: creating a prepaid Occupy debit card.

The idea, led by a group that includes a Cornell law professor, a former director of Deutsche Bank and a former British diplomat, is meant to serve people who do not have bank accounts, but it also aims to make Occupy a recognized financial services brand.

Oh the irony. What could possibly go wrong?

You can only take money out, you can’t put any in.

First step in a movement to provide “public option banking”.

Look for the Postal Service to enter this game before long.

I see thieves. I see congressional hearings. I see bailouts.

I see a lot of left wing schnooks who will lose their life savings buying into this.

I spent about 30 minutes at Occupy Wall Street not long after it started to get publicity.Every dirty,worthless denizen living within 500 miles of NYC was there.The aroma of BO...and illegal substances...was overpowering.

This is truly one of the funniest things to come down the pike.

I luuuve it when the loonies have to start making use of eeeevil capitalist technologies.

Wouldn’t u know it? Anything bankrolled by Soros/Saud , no matter how avowedly communistic or anti-American it is, would wind up going after the money. Ha! (When will USA ever wake up and stop allowing organized subversion from enemy agents dedicated to her destruction or “transformation” ?).

My daughter had several acquaintances who participated in OWS. Basically they were just there to live their own version of Woodstock. Sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. One girl she knows had two abortions as a direct result of Occupy.

This is just rich. You cannot make this stuff up.

I didn’t know they were still around. Obviously they are not having much of an impact.

Let me guess... the Occupier’s debit card is actually linked in to other people’s accounts to draw from, right?

One girl she knows had two abortions as a direct result of Occupy.

That is one of the most disgusting or disturbing things I've read in a while. Because of the casualness of it, or something. (Not at you! At the attitude of the person who did it)
