The reason most people seem to be mad
is that the money they've been charged "for services" has been demanded without actual access to the services indicated. The majority of stories are about rude, ineffectual or scrounging bankers- who may well be the minority of a functioning business, but at the same time deserve as much ridicule and public slating as, say, bus drivers did. Also, since the government had to bail out the "businesses" with our money, since as a business they failed, it seems strange to be enraged because we react as if we deserve something in return.

They don't operate for our benfit, no, but we can't function without them if we want to earn a salary, process taxes or buy a mortgage. We're dependant on them, and they are on us. They need to understand that it's a two way relationship, and not wholly focused on either of us.

Just sayin'.

I tend to find that the judicious application of bile is much less rewarding than the scattergun.

Granted
But it does swing on how one applies the bile, and whom it hits. ;)

Whom it hits.

And I disagree. I'm just unpleasant.

Duly edited. :-)
And fair enough...
