Maybe they think your money is none of the bureaucrat’s business, and that when you open a bank account it isn’t because you wanted to drop your shorts to the looter class.
Maybe we come from different vantage points, but from where I sit the looter class would seem to include embezzlers, Ponzi schemers, smugglers, drug kingpins and other sorts squirreling away ill-gotten gains. Those are just the sort of scoundrels who require numbered accounts. Maybe if you knew any victims of people like Bernard Madoff you would agree.
