But your statement is wrong. The CEO of FedEx isn't appointed by the President, Federal Express doesn't give testimony to congress, FedEx isn't audited by the GAO and FedEx doesn't rebate its interest earned back to the Treasury. Unlike the Federal Reserve.

Your government doesn't own the Federal Reserve.
It's the other way around. This is why your vote means almost nothing.
It's not just The Federal Reserve, but The Central Bank of almost every government in the world.
