I think some might based on the principal of it.
I was in a store the other day and at the register I was asked if I wanted to contribute to a local charity. I said, “Sure, put me down for 5 bucks”. Next thing I know the store manager got on the INTERCOM and says something lIke, “Attention, folks, the generous lady at Register 3 just made a large contribution to our local charity!”
I was like, “Omg, what are you doing?”
The point is, it was voluntary. Had they told me at the register that I
had to pay an extra $5 to a charity I may not have agreed to it, based on principle (and some other factors like I can’t be sure where the money is going and I want to choose the charities I contribute to, etc.).
Again, big picture with this mortgage fee issue. And I really don’t think it’s that people don’t want to help other people, either. I just think they don’t want to be told what they have to do. That’s an American principle, isn’t it?
