I disagree with the concept that all government is corrupt. I work in the govt. It is often stupid and short sighted and a small amount of corrupt people work for it. But it is inanity to suggest that all of govt. is corrupt. You want corrupt? Go to Greece, Russia, China.
From your past posts, I have no doubt you believe, at some level, US corporations and their boards, CEO's and etc. are sitting in the equivalent of some back room looking to buy judges, congressman and etc. while bilking us honest folk out of our last few pennies. I won't try to shake you awake from your delusion. Feel free to live bitter about our govt.
As to the Federal Reserve, to me, it exhibits the natural problems and conflicts that exist in quasi-governmental structures. Ultimately (in the next 50 years) I expect it will become a wholly governmental agencey with the requisite fairness/inefficiency problems that exist in govt. as a whole. Right now, I simply don't have a dossier on every FRB member to determine if they are a bunch of corporate lackeys who are corrupt and selfish as opposed to individuals heavily and diversely invested in various corporate holdings.
But you go on believing that the you're smarter than the rest of us and that only you can see the truth. I am sure that is comforting to you.

Obviously Joe, You Can't Handle the TRUTH (insert video here).
Govt and big corporations clearly skew the laws to suit them, and have a level of corruption inherent in them. Does that mean every person working for the gov't or a big corporation is evil, or corrupt, clearly not.
