If, as I think is evident, lax accounting rules contributed siginficantly to the currrent financial scandals and stock-market decline, then it must be, if the median-voter hypothesis is correct, that the median voter favored such legal larceny as not requiting options to be expensed or not clearly stating that auditing firms also do consulting with the same firm. Since such legalized deception inevitably leads to this kind of grand larceny, the median voter must now be very happy that he got his wish.
