This piece is about bankers. To the extent that bankers are closely aligned with their friends in other financial services industries -- like private, for-profit health insurance -- I think I can safely say the anti-consumer behavior and arrogance displayed by big business is not isolated to the banks.In light of the huge bailout the American people extended through their elected officials to the big banks, one would think there would be at least the occasional illusion of gratitude to the poor working class folks whose hard earned money helped fund the bank bailout. If there is no gratitude for our financing of the lifestyles of the banking CEOs in the style to which they have all become so accustomed, then perhaps a sense of obligation might prevail. When someone helps me out, I feel gratitude and an obligation to treat that person kindly. I also want to pay that person back.The bailed out bankers of America do not feel any of those quaint and apparently out-dated motivations. This week I had one of those in-your-face moments with my bank that not only made my blood boil but also reminded me why I remain a gullible cog in the economic wheel rather than a valued customer.
