Shut Up, Commies!
Jan 04 '00
Perhaps a few of you will not like hearing this opinion. It's not a standard, mainstream one. Banks are motivated by profit. This is good. If they weren't motivated by profit, they wouldn't provide you any services. Anyone who provides a service and is not motivated by profit is one of two things (not mutually exclusive, mind you): 1. certifiably insane. 2. A dirty communist (communism, let me refresh you, is bad). Banks are providing you a service with atm machines. If you want this service, many of them demand you pay a fee. By paying that fee, you reward them for the service and make it worthwhile for them to provide that service. If you don't value the service enough to pay the fee, don't use that atm. It won't kill you to use plastic or to withdraw cash in person. If you do value the service above the fee, then pay the fee. It's a lot like having a maid...you're paying for a convenience.
Personally, I hate paying the fees, so I don't use atms that charge them most of the time. But do I support proposed commie legislation to make these fees illegal? Not on your life, not on my life, not on anyone's life. It would be against everything for which I stand as a free American propagating a capitalist system (yes, capitalism is good).
