Aren’t those the reasons Joe Kennedy was the first director of the SEC. (not the conference, the Securities Exchange Commission.)

I believe FDR said something to the effect of if you want to catch the crooks, the best person to use is a crook.

If you want to stop Crony Capitalism, why not use someone who has used that system almost as well as the Congressmen themselves.

For same reason using Joseph Kennedy was a BAD IDEA...
Fighting corruption with the corrupt.. does not work..
ALL then becomes corrupt..

Two wrongs does not make a right.. ever..

The fight disease you MUST KILL the disease... not the patient..
Democracy is a political Disease.. with socialism as a symptom.. ALWAYS...

WHY?... the US COnstitution DOES NOT HAVE the word democracy or democrat in it anywhere...
ON PURPOSE.. the founders knew what democracy WAS... AND WASN’T..

Sadly most Americans DO NOT.. I doubt YOU DO!...
