What If ? - Your input please

A thought came to me last night, out of the blue, regarding our financial system. Although the Banks have and use our money, we have no real say over what happens to it, or how it is used.

What If:

When we pay money into the Bank (even if it is not physically, when you receive a wage slip or payment advice) we make a statement along these lines:
I (Leadman) give this money freely & with love to (bank name) on the understanding that it may only be used for the "good of mankind" and by accepting this gift (bank name) will become a partner in this contract.

Obviously, the statement would be made to oneself, please don't stand at the cashier's window and make this statement.

Would/could this have an effect on the system. Would we have an increase of real & electronic money, circulating through the banks, that could only be used for the good of mankind?

I am going to start doing it anyway, but would be keen to hear your views.

With only good intentions,
Leadman

P.S. if you did the same when paying, Taxes, Utility bill's, etc. ?
