Double dipping — the corporate employees and shareholders are already voting as citizens.

"Drain the Banks" — Audit the Fed
I can't really argue with any of that.

I have acted/spoken against my personal best interests before. I'm sure as a sole proprietor I could also act against the profit motive and accomodate the public interest. Then again, a CEO could also act that way, at the risk of angering their shareholders/directors.

I'm not following the double-dip idea though. Corporations and individuals will bazillion-dip if they get the opportunity. I can vote as a citizen and double-dip by making a campaign contribution to influence others. I see no distinction in this regard.

Explain audit the Fed? Once we confirm our suspicion of how corrupt it is, what will we do with the info?



Perhaps we should tax political contributions?
