I'm a miner myself and I know that tx fees are important, but the current level of tx fees cost and tx confirmation speed fights the idea about bitcoin making fast low cost money transactions possible. Wasn't this one of the original ideas?
This was an early marketing gimmick spread by people who didnt care about bitcoin but only $$$ to get people to invest. However, if you want low cost money transactions bitcoin is still the best bet. But the transaction systems have to be built on top. Unfortunately miners are against this, but in that they are only reducing the value of the tokens they mine.
Take a look at BitcoinEC, Core code plus block size option, without the rest of the BU changes and bugs.
What if EC has a bug? I mean the Concept behind BitcoinEC is dumb. They strip out the things Bitcoin Unlimited has worked on. Xthin, Parallel validation and so on, because you cant trust the devs who made it. Its crap. But the same devs made EC. So why isnt that being scrapped too?
