This time, they imposed fees on their customer-depositors, in essence, the people that saved them in the first place. Two months ago, for instance, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) announced a $5 monthly fee for its debit cardholders–a way for the bank to offset the loss of revenues caused by the Durbin Amendment of Dodd-Frank Act (a reduction in the fee banks can charge merchants from 44 cents to 24 cents per transaction). Now, most of these banks are reversing that decision, dropping debt card fees.

Yelawolf gets socio-economical in a new interview with V6M TV as he speaks on Occupy Wall Street and the working class. Alabama rapper Yelawolf is the latest rapper to give his thoughts on the growing Occupy Wall Street movement. But rather than speak specifically on the movement the rapper expressed his thoughts on the working class and how important it is that they be protected. “The nine to five worker makes the world go round and if you don’t protect them and really put them first you’re fucking up the foundation. And if the foundation’s fucked up the whole building’s gonna fall down,” Yelawolf explained to V6M .

NEW YORK (Michelle Nichols) - An anti-capitalist group which sparked the Occupy Wall Street movement has called for global protests Saturday to demand G20 leaders impose a ``Robin Hood'' tax on financial transactions and currency trades. Canada-based Adbusters wants the Occupy Wall Street protest movement against economic inequality to take to the streets to call for a 1 percent tax on such deals ahead of a Nov. 3-4 summit of the Group of 20 leading economies in France. ``Let's send them a clear message: We want you to slow down some of that $1.3 trillion easy money that's sloshing around the global casino each day -- enough cash to fund every social program and environmental initiative in the world,'' the activist group said on its website, www.adbusters.org.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is spreading across the country, as Boston’s movement has become the next major city to garner national attention. On Friday afternoon, 3,000 protestors marched towards Bank of America in downtown Boston to signal their disapproval over the banks foreclosure practices. 24 people were arrested for trespassing but are unlikely to face serious charges, according to law enforcement. “These individuals choose to ignore the facts and instead focus on increasingly aggressive PR stunts,” Crawford said told the Herald. “Bank of America has a lot to be proud of in Massachusetts, from modifying 18,000 mortgages since 2008, to lending nearly $400 million to small businesses that are fueling the local economy in the first half of 2011.”
