The money you deposit in a bank is money they owe you. It is a debt.

No, you are servicing them (see below).

Do you know what banks do? They don't store your money in some big warehouse. You surely know this, a conservative/facist, but banks use your money to make money. They invest in many different types of things. Some, not all, are highly reprehensible.

The thing I wonder about is, if banks make money off of our money, why do we pay them anything at all?
