Well, good for you heywood, now add a few kids as a single parent struggling at a min wage job taking transit everywhere, or other circumstances like lack of education, lack of funds to get ID to get a bank account, lack of an address, and think about it.
It is so nice to speak from a position of priviledge eh?!

Where do you start then Heywood? Or do you just do nothing because there is too much to do to help them? Because it sounds like that is what you are advocating.
This measure could mean 100's of dollars in savings to low income earners, and mid-income earners, and why do you feel the banks should make obscene profits off of depositers?
Jack should also be bringing up the CPC's income sharing plans and how it penalizes single parents, widowers, or elderly single people.
Speaking of where to start....
The banks make the profits of their customers, rich or poor. In the case that we're discussing, the customers voluntarily pay them, every time. It's no different than paying the sin taxes on smokes or dropping $1.50 in the slots.
