My earlier point remains -- inasmuch as you have no vote as it pertains to monetary policy (or the people who set monetary policy), your vote doesn't really matter.
you are saying it's a bad thing that I don't have a vote in the matter. I'm saying it's a good thing. You also don't want me voting on how many tanks should be kept in Germany, how to build the proper amount of sway into a skyscraper, or how many microns of rat poop are allowed to go unannounced in baby formula. "moral equivalent." please.
