Occupy? No, leave Wall Street

If you really want to put the fear of Midas into the "too big to fail" financial institutions, start moving money to small local banks and credit unions. Start paying cash, and writing checks. They depend on their millions of customers to support their bloated infrastructures and billions in bonuses. So leave. Do the research. Find a good, solid, local institution and take you business there. The best part is a local bank has local concerns. You money will be used for loans in your community, not to finance some swamp reclamation project in Burma. To really twist the knife, stop using credit cards. Pay off you balances and close accounts. Keep one or two for emergencies, but shut off that flow of revenue.

It's our money, it's our nation, and it is time to tell the 1% that in the only language they understand.

I was just posting more or less the same strategy to a few people over on The Book of Face (sans the macro but I can think of a few places there to plop that in plain sight as well).
