Merely writing an opinion piece pointing out an income redistribution scheme does not imply that the people who benefit from it should feel “guilty” about using a service offered by banks.
The "feel guilty" phrase was in jest. Sorry for the confusion.

Actually, I found it an interesting piece, that obviously won't change the behavior of FTers.
