Thank the Occupiers - Debit card fees: Some banks say no

"NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Many big banks are lining up to assure customers they won't impose the debit card fees that have sparked a backlash against Bank of America.
"According to a person familiar with the company's plans, JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500), the country's biggest bank, has decided not to charge customers for debit card purchases. The decision follows a test of the fee the bank began in two states in February. That test will be dropped in November."
I think you can thank your local Occupier, who is typically a former middle-class person. A remarkable difference from the demonstrations in the '60s and '70s.
