Is Occupy Wall Street Trying to Take Your Job?

The Occupy Wall Street movement has recently come out with a manual with its own financial advice, but don’t worry about them taking over your job just yet. The idea behind “The Debt Resistors’ Operations Manual,” written by an anonymous collective of resistors, defaulters and allies from Strike Debt and OWS, is to help those affected by debt. But most advisors wouldn’t get caught dead doling out this advice. Lie about your identity to avoid emergency room bills; stop paying student loans; and default on a payday loan. These are just a couple examples of their words of wisdom.
