They just don't want people to look at their bills and see:

C-Suite 3rd Yacht Fund: $2.39
Monopoly Maintenence Fee: $5.25
Lobby/Bribe Fee: $3.16

Well, I see an opportunity for consolation right here!

Monopoly maintenance/lobbying (bribes): $8.41

I bet those business geniuses can find all kinds of ways to "reduce fees". That is the number of fees, not the total dollar amount of fees.
