Of course, no one feels guilty, nor was there anything in the piece that suggested that people should feel guilty. The real wealth redistribution is not from the poor to those people with credit cards, it’s from the poor to the banks.
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.
