I have no idea why it makes sense that the people with the least amounts of money should pay all the fees, and the people with most should get all the breaks and benefits. Damnit, if I made six figures, I wouldn't give a damn if I had to pay an extra $30.00/year for overdraft protection! But I DO NOT make that much, and $30.00 is actually quite a chunk of change for me.
Blargh. Monthly service fees! Overdraft charges! Fees for checking! No wonder our country's economy is in the toilet. Conventional capitalist reasoning has always said that if you take care of the top 10%, the bottom 90% will benefit as well. Are we ready to admit now that that's BULLSHIT?!
