But the transaction fees are killing me!

i agree with the general idea but we should not forget that transaction fees shouldn't have gone this high at this point. because of how bitcoin works.
the fees were supposed to be there to compensate for the "computing power" miners spend after the reward went down low enough. but for now they are only used as a competition factor to get in the blocks while miners are getting paid more and more.
it is not just about fees being high, it is about fees being unfairly high while we could have had a scaling solution and have normal fees.
