A Trading Floor For Congressmen?
Suppose someone were to set up a trading floor for Congressmen?
Start simply by calling each Congressman and listing online their favorite charity. How many ways could this go wrong?
Could people be induced to give money to a charity in support of their Congressmen?
Suppose Congressmen could have many favorite charities. Every charity would want to be 'favorited' by as many Congressmen as possible. Which Congressmen would fave the food banks?
If the NRA or the Chamber of Commerce were to become a Congressman's favorite charity, since they help fund political campaigns, the internet site would then effectively become a trading floor.
Suppose the list were extended to include the favorite charities of Senators and Supreme Court Justices?
The market is global.
