Occupy Using Their Funds To Buy $100,000 Of Debt

[Black_Label]

Members of a debt relief project borne from the Occupy Wall Street campaign said Wednesday they have purchased more than $100,000 worth of medical debt in a second trial run for their efforts.

Thomas Gokey, a spokesperson for the Rolling Jubilee campaign, said the debt was purchased for $5,000. Earlier this year, the group bought $14,000 worth of debt for $500.

“We are buying debt that is being sold on the secondary market for pennies on the dollar,” Gokey said in a conference call. “We are doing it in exactly the same way that [debt collectors] do it, with one big difference: we are abolishing the debt as we buy it.”

You'll never see the teabaggers doing anything for good like this

LOL, even $10 million would be a drop in the bucket to a multi-billion dollar industry, you stupid fuck and they are buying $100K! Nice waste of money! Medical bill payments allow a ton of options!

If they really wanted to do some good, why not buy and abolish student loan debt?

Liberals are so stupid they applaud a failed effort on all levels!

Yeah... Tea Party members or Conservatives or Republicans or anyone who is not a progressive, NEVER take charitable actions, help others of their own free will, etc

Look.. commendable of this group.. and I applaud their efforts and the free choice to do this... still does not mean I believe government should do it, government should bail out, government should give freebies at another's expense, etc

This has nothing to do with the government. It's private individuals helping out others.

Says one of the main trolls spewing nothing but hate, even when it's people donating to help others.

But that's the far right for you. Filled with nothing but hate and ignorance.
