Thieves I Tell You! Thieves!

This thought just occurred to me: We use banks in our daily lives to keep our money safe and to ensure that we have it for our future by setting up Savings Accounts in them to collect interest. But yet they charge us for checks, maintenance fees, cards that are lost or stolen, charge if we have a below minimum amount in our savings and some even go so far as to have annual fees from the time you opened your account. There are also overdraft protection fees paid monthly, other transfer fees if using another facility's ATM machine, account deactivation fees if you switch your account a newer one from your previous one if not within a year of your opening, and of course the lovely "no previous bank in the lat year? Lets check your credit then" approach which nails you with more fees because you are considered a high risk client.

Fact is, banks are robbers of your money. They steal more from us than our mattresses. Also what does my credit report have anything to do with my current check in my hand I want to deposit into your bank for your grubby hands to spend it while I am not looking on more doctored up fees to squeeze this poor kikel kraut cracker of an injun out of his last cent he needs for Mishka diapers? Banks are just as bad as robbers.

Seriously.
