$10 x the 30 people at this boycott won't amount to much, granted. But multiply that by several million, 90% of whom will probably be withdrawing a hell of a lot more than that, and the banks will start to hurt. I've personally pulled over $200K out of a for-profit bank into a credit union. You make the poor assumption that so many are making that the people who are fed up with being taken advantage of by the big banks are all poor. It should be pretty clear by now that that's not true at all. The ones with more money in the banks are the ones that have the most at stake.
