Jamie Dimon: Leave the Banksters Alone !!!!!

from HuffPost:

Jamie Dimon wants you to remember what made this country great.

The JPMorgan Chase CEO insisted in a New York magazine interview, published on Monday, that people should not blame big banks for the financial crisis.

When asked him about his consistent defense of Wall Street and criticism of financial rules, Dimon pushed back, saying he considered himself more "an outspoken defender of the truth." "This is not the Soviet Union," he continued. "This is the United States of America. That's what I remember. Guess what.... It's a free. Fucking. Country."

Since the financial crisis, Dimon has embraced his role as defender of Wall Street. Earlier this month, he said the larger problem surrounded scapegoating and finger-pointing, rather than systemic problems in his industry. ................(more)

YOU are what's wrong with the banking system in the United States. YOU and your fellow crooks in your ivory towers that fuck with ordinary people's lives and well-being everyday are the scum of the earth.

I wish ill on no man, but know this: I wouldn't cross the road to piss on you if you were on fire. You are a pathetic excuse for a human being.

his ass lets take a moment to reflect on the fact that he is and has been a major Democratic contributor since the '80s

Like it or not his money spends just as well as anyone elses. I can knock on doors but have no hope of giving the kind of cash needed to keep up with Rmoney and company.

a major political party to get what HE wants. This is what needs to stop! We should not be happy about our party taking money from Wall Street. With Dems in power, he got his money's worth. The Criminals are not going to be prosecuted. This is the only reason they buy both political parties. They probably work it out like this:

Goldman Sachs: I'm willing to buy into the Republican Party, but what if Dems win?

Jamie Dimon: Not to worry, J.P. Morgan will cover the Dem Party

Goldman Sachs: Great, nothing to worry about then. Let's party!

They crashed the world economy, for nothing more than sheer greed.

We need to stop this money flowing into our government somehow. It has corrupted the whole system. Jamie Dimon does not care about the American People. His donations are to make sure he can influence Congress to see things Wall Street's way and we see how great that has been for the country.
