Are you saying I am jealous of successful people?

Your source for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors does not agree with what is currently sourced for the Board of Governors membership. You aren't being dishonest are you?
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
One listed on wikipedia is vacant. Another is an expired term (which is not listed on the actual FRB website). Two of those members are probably not Jewish.
But anyway, if it's a statistical question we're trying to ask....suppose we look at the complete lists of Boards of Governors, Directors, etc....and see if Jewish representation is anomalous.
Here's the hard part for you and the readers....you're gonna' need to slog through those lists to understand this next bit.
So...No, I don't think it is a coincidence. I don't think anyone can argue that people of Jewish descent have a remarkable track record in the financial and business world. Why does it seem odd that one particular group has a tendency to rise to the top of their profession? Either through innate abiltiy or dogged persistence. Doesn't seem odd to me...white guys can't jump and are dramatically outnumbered in professional basketball. Conversely, there appear to be very few black Olympic swimmers. And that doesn't bother me....I don't think it's a cabal of sport manipulators.
Your turn.....are these questions and what is implied, what you "feel"? Or, is it what you know and can spell out with some academic rigor and discipline? If it's what you "feel", how can you be sure it isn't the result of poor perception or conversely, the very accurate application of rhetoric and suggestion?
Here's my point....about everything....darn near about everything this discussion has encompassed....
Until people break away from the "micro" view of these type of issues....until they stop looking and perceiving them through the tunnel vision of the Internet....they'll never realize the "macro" view. That view is that what is being discussed here has been going on for all of human history. The jealousy, the suspicion, the mistrust....you name it, been there done that. Doesn't matter what demographic is being maligned or hated....you're simply repeating history.
Many people here really are convinced they have the "big picture" and they are "in the know".....when all that's happened is your attention has been focused thanks to TCP/IP and the Internet.
I'm the one that is having trouble with this picture? I'm asking people to expand their perceptions and the scope of this issue, and I'm catching grief?

This is funny....how are you determining who is Jewish, and who is not? How are you doing that?
Are you arbitrarily determining "Jewish-ness" by the name? Seriously....what is your criteria for deciding that?
But whatever. I think I've proved my point.

No, not even close.....what you did is, again, squeeze your sample down to a subset that finally looked good to you. And if you'll check my last post, I'd like to know how your breaking down the elements of those sets into subsets.

A first-generation American, Fisher was born in Los Angeles, California but grew up in Mexico. His father was Australian, while his mother was South African, of Norwegian descent.[3] Following graduation from Admiral Farragut Academy, he attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland from 1967 to 1969, before transferring to Harvard University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics in 1971. From 1972 to 1973, he studied Latin American studies at Oxford University. Completing his education in 1975, he earned an M.B.A. from Stanford University.
Fisher is married to Nancy Miles Collins, the daughter of former U.S. Congressman James M. Collins. They have four children, including their son, actor Miles Fisher. Source

As far as proving points Ive stated my case and my reasoning for thinking the way I think. Ive backed them up with what I feel are facts and and am basing my assumptions on the conspiracy on those facts. I dont think Im going to change your mind just like you probably will not change mine but I do leave open the fact that it is just a coincidence that maybe Jews are just better at certain aspects. Maybe they do something different at home or maybe Jews are just some superior beings or chosen people.
Growing up in Canada I noted so many Scotsmen were politicians, bankers, company owners, etc. It seemed pretty evident that even though they were a minority, they came at the right time, were hungry, highly motivated, willing to work hard, and figured out how to make money beyond sustenance levels. I don't think there was a conspiracy and a long term agenda.

What Ive stated are facts and if you can disprove anything please feel free to. I saw the comment on elections and Im of the belief that people in power arent elected they are selected. I feel this way not only about the banking system but I feel this way about our presidency also. Joseph Stalin said "Its not who votes that counts, its who counts the votes." The facts are the Jews hold a lot of power in the financial industry and we didnt even delve into the media or entertainment industry which too are essential if you would want to take over the world.

Okay....I checked one at random, Richard W. Fisher, who you have identified as Jewish....from his wikipedia entry...
I also looked up Thomas M. Hoenig, who you've also identified as Jewish.....I'm pretty good at Internet searches and I can't find any hint of this man's religion....have you got a source for that?
Same thing with Janet L. Yellen....can't find a single damned source that identifies her as Jewish. Can you help me with that?
In short, I think you're making stuff up.
