Banks - Obscene Revenues; Customers - Obscene Fees

From Think Progress this morning:

Facing continued consumer pressure, Bank of America is pulling back from its debit-card fee by allowing customers to avoid the monthly $5 charge “by maintaining minimum balances, having paychecks direct-deposited or using Bank of America credit cards.”

Minimum Balance:  Is till at $20,000 – oh, yeh - I've got that much extra cash - ha!.

Paychecks directly deposited:  Most of us do that already – not a big yahoo!

Using Bank of America Credit Cards:  What the yearly charge for this card?  What’s the credit rate on these cards and how often would you be required to use them?

Ha! - Don’t let them fool you – they will still screw you – if you stay with them.
They are sitting in their big old leather chairs - with their feet on their desks - taking bets on how gullible  the American people are.  If you believe this crap (that they won't add fees to debit cards) - you are one of those gullible people.

Gullible:  easily taken in or tricked; a cant term for "dupe, sucker"
