All this talk about Transparency, is it a good idea? (7)
fireliter: from corporations, employers, government and relationships... how much is too much?
what amount of transparency are you willing to give or want?

It depends whose money is at issue in the relevent body. Public money equals public access to information. Also there is a need to ensure that competition for trade or contracts is on a fair basis so there has to be reasonable access to information for regulators.

I have a feeling that if everyone's finances were
disclosed, never to be deceptive or any part of our
financial status hidden as in an individual or corporate
sense, we would all become equal financially.
Who is willing to do this now? I think a very rare person
would be courageous enough to do this.
Maybe the 'street people' are the honest ones???
We really separate ourselves that way, don't we.
Our superficial way of pretending one-up-manship.

Claims of transparency (re. corporations, government, employers) are worth about as much as claims of accountability. Its all about ticking a box, looks good on paper. The actual transparency we get comparative to those claims is minimal.
With regard to relationships, its individual, of course.

Always considered transparency as being able to see something.
What the government is doing now is force feeding us while we're blindfolded and we can only see what we ate after it passes thru the our system and into the porcelain bowl then we say, "Oh yeah, that thats what they been feeding me."
Another word D.C. has convoluted into something totally different then the Websters definition.

Public money does not equal public access. I'm paying for all sorts of CIA operations I have no access to. And I'm given the good ole "National Security" rubber-stamp any time I inquire. "National Security" is a blanket term for anything that might incriminate someone.
Transparency is a psycho-babble buzz word incorporated into rhetoric to make us feel good. In the political arena it means nothing.
