Hosing the Poor

People who live on the margins of the economy often cannot get bank accounts. They can get pre-paid debit cards, which are like gift cards, in a way. In a way, though, they are not, because the banks and the other financial ghouls who sell those cards have added a host of fees which add up to millions and millions of dollars.

Millions of dollars, all harvested from people who are least able to afford it. The financial vampires have figured out ways to add dozens of different fees to those cards, all designed to strip cash from the working poor.

Bastards, all of them.

It's expensive to be poor.

It's big business to mine the poor.
