"Jamie Dimon, the highest-paid chief executive officer among the heads of the six biggest U.S. banks, turned a question at an investors’ conference in New York this month into an occasion to defend wealth.
“Acting like everyone who’s been successful is bad and because you’re rich you’re bad, I don’t understand it,” the JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) CEO told an audience member who asked about hostility toward bankers. “Sometimes there’s a bad apple, yet we denigrate the whole.” Dimon, 55, whose 2010 compensation was $23 million, joined billionaires including hedge-fund manager John Paulson and Home Depot Inc. (HD) co-founder Bernard Marcus in using speeches, open letters and television appearances to defend themselves and the richest 1 percent of the population targeted by Occupy Wall Street demonstrators."
Shows they are REALLY concerned. Step up the pressure. NOW!
Of course they can publish their letters in full page ads in newspapers and television spots, we just have the people's mic. Shows you what free speech really amounts to when corporations rule the planet.
Of course, he's got it wrong. No one is against success. Or being rich, for that matter. People are against breaking the law to get rich and thinking that wrecking the global economy, causing billions to suffer as a result, is success.
Exactly. Which proves that the people responsible for this mess, like Dimon, don't understand what we're protesting, and that the core OWS message isn't getting across. Yet.
Exactly right!
He will not understand until you explain it to him thru the bars of his jail cell.
Let's go by his office.
Good idea. These people live in such a bubble it's going to take quite an effort to get through to them, if it's even possible. Most of them have lived in such an insulated world for so long, and it's so ingrained, that some are probably beyond hope.
