Setting the bar at legality is what got us here. When it comes to the relationship between government and business how about what’s ethical and right for the majority of Americans instead of just what’s legal.

In most ethics trainings I have taken we are told to avoid taking actions that could lead to the perception of impropriety because the perception of impropriety can be as bad or worse than impropriety itself.

That ethos becomes more important the higher ones station becomes in politics and business.

I am not accusing Yellen of anything improper, however these transactions give circumstantial support to those who may believe she acted or will act in an improper way.

Yea, I’m not talking so much about Yellen as the relationship between the wealthy and government officials in general.
