"...do you mean that the government takes 15% of your savings each year?"

No. If the bank performs the service of saving your money for you (your savings account) then why *shouldn't the bank charge you for the service?

The cable provider charges you a monthly fee for cable service, doesn't it?

The *15% point of purchase tax is on the cost of the service (the savings account), not the money in the account.


*EDIT








*may be higher or lower...I pulled 15% out of my ass for conversation's sake
