ha ha ha ha… funny NOT.

I heard a segment of this on National Propoganda Radio last night with the smooth-talking ever-so-slick parcel-tongued Ky Risdall making it seem like Jamie the Dimon was just teh greatest! w00t!

I turned off the radio. My loathing knows no bounds.

Thanks for the info.

And btw, shithead greedy Dimon is “richer than me” because I bailed him out. Bastard.

Were the Robber Barons of yore like Carnegie, Rockefeller and JP Morgan as smug and arrogant as the Neo Robber Barons of today? Too bad there isn’t a Roosevelt from the left or right to save us this time around.

The riches of Dimon that the rest of us pay for are just about anything he wants that can be considered “business”. It takes a small office of tax attorneys and accountants to know and use every write-off and loophole their congressional toadies have baked and served up to them. From the “business” lunches to the offshore “business” conferences. From the cleaners the corporation pays to give the “home office” a through dusting to the necessary private jets and limos needed to take these MOTU to the far reaches of their empire. Borrowing from the national treasury for free supports a lifestyle we’re supposed to envy. And we do. Unions are socialists, Occupy is a bunch of lazy genXers living in their parents basement collecting the government dole, and we believe it. Who’s the fool?

It was the threat of the Leftists and the CIO behind FDR that gave him the leverage. The 1% learned that lesson the first time and have made sure it doesn’t happen again.

Obama thinks Jamie Dimon manages JP Morgan very well.

After Obama won the 2008 presidential election, there was speculation that Dimon would serve in the Obama Administration as Secretary of the Treasury. Obama eventually named the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Timothy Geithner, to the position.[33]

Following the acquisition of Washington Mutual by JPMorgan Chase, Obama commented on Dimon’s handling of the real-estate crash, credit crisis, and the banking collapse affecting corporations nationwide, including major financial institutions like Bank of America, Citibank, and Wachovia (now Wells Fargo).

You know, keep in mind, though there are a lot of banks that are actually pretty well managed, JPMorgan being a good example, Jamie Dimon, the CEO there, I don’t think should be punished for doing a pretty good job managing an enormous portfolio.[34]

Dimon is influential in the Obama White House with close ties to some there, including former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.[35] Dimon is one of three CEOs—along with Lloyd Blankfein and Vikram Pandit—said by the Associated Press to have liberal access to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.[36][37] Nonetheless, Dimon has often publicly disagreed with some of Obama’s policies.[38]

Chase and the other big banks need to be atomized into many banks each, perhaps by state as well as separating commercial and investment functions. In a just country, we’d have seen a few thousand bankers thrown into prison by now, but they’ve been protected by the Great Satans Obama and Holder.

The rest of the clip was interesting, as well. Evidently Mr. Mayo had pointed out some inconvenient truths and was cut off from maybe a call in with Sandy Weill?

Might I recommend a new address for the esteemed Mr. Dimon? And since I’m feeling so generous, I’m going to assert that there would be plenty of room there for Lloyd Blankfein, etal, too.

What can I say? I’m a giver.

Guess Mr D forgot what America’s Revolution was really about, aye? “Fucken Scumbag”

He’s also richer because he no doubt receives “carried interest” income [all these hedge fund maggots do] which is taxed @ 15%, not at “normal” income rates [which of course are lower than they should be for rich guys].

Ditto for the tax rate on the dividends, interest and capital gains he receives.

And us??? Why we’re just too dumb and too poor to take advantage of these tax breaks granted to the “job creators.”

And 1der @ 4: they don’t even NEED an army of accountants. This is a simple provision of the tax laws.

Yes and these folks expense out their travel cost write it off, while most Americans are simply fucked hard!

The love affair between Obombya and the 1% – a mystery to the bots, obvious to the rest of us. O is the tool of choice for the PTB to further their feudal serf economy.

Obama hides very little.

The USA has a national stockholm syndrome infection.

wikipedia says ” Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes “strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.”

The Bush tax cuts ended for those making more than $400,000? Not really. One example: Dividends are now taxed as capital gains at a 20% rate, not as ordinary income at a 39.6% rate. As another example: the inheritance tax was not increased, it is actually lower than it was under Bush. http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/i/inheritance_and_estate_taxes/index.html. It would be more accurate to state, certain taxes on those making over $400,000 were raised in a minor way, but some of the most generous of the Bush era tax cuts were retained or even enhanced for those making over $400,000.
That is one reason Jamie Dimon has so much money.

You are absolutely correct. Obaminator left most of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy alone, pretending he put taxes for the wealthy back to where they were under Clinton.
