Default Bank Fees - WTF Are They For?

So my monthly fee just went up $2.00 apparently. Nice of the bank to just arbitrarily up the amount of money it costs me for allowing them to handle and make money off of my paycheques and investments.

Why the Hell do we have to pay bank fees? What do they pay for? Why does it cost 50 cents to do an online transaction to move money from my chequing account to my savings account? There was absolutely no work involved in moving that money. A mindless computer changed the values to two files in some random database.

Don't tell me it's supposed to fund maintainence for those computers or ATMs or some other bullcrap sob story. Banks rake in the dough. Imagine all the money they collect in fees alone every day from people just making simple transactions like withdrawals or transfers.

Why do I have to pay to access my own money? I'm doing the bank a favor by banking there. Not the other way around.
