JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon is validating the growing frustration of working-class Americans, admitting in a recent interview that he completely understands why man The Wall Street billionaire argued that decades of ineffective public policies have left lower-income families behind in struggling rural areas and inner cities, forcing them to navigate failing schools and rising crime while wealthy elites remain insulated from those problems. "The anti-rich thing has been around a long time, and I do understand it because I think, separate the two pieces, the piece that's really important is that we have, in fact, left the lower-income folks behind," Dimon told Axios.

"The anti-rich thing..."
Also known as envy. The most powerful human emotion there is.

‘’So, as Democrats, what can we do to fix this?’’ Well, Mr. Dimon, I think you’ve done enough damage already. Envy is a destructive force that will destroy object and host. Ask Cain and Abel. Giving envy legitimacy will gain you nothing because they will come for the enablers next.

We no longer abhor the seven deadly sins. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath and sloth. All these permeate our society with no shame.

Dimon is a deep blue Democrat who sees his fellow travelers coming after him and his crowd. Democrats have been buying votes with their policies since FDR, now are finding out that these people want more. With Republicans now running things, there’s nothing more they can do to calm down the natives except push Medicare for all. Republicans are the bad guys because they try to cap things and restore common sense.

Oh spare me. Too many great people have left humble and sparse beginnings to become rich and successful. If you classify yourself as impoverished you will probably stay that way forever. It's the very reason that communism sounds so good to the lazy and envious.

Every time I hear him being interviewed on Maria Bartiromo’s show. I go away even more unimpressed by him and yet he gets paid millions as a CEO.

Why? As Charles Foster Kane said: " people will think what I tell them to think'.

The democrats have deliberately enable the lower income families to rely on the government. Then they keep them from getting ahead so they can con them into thinking that their party are the only ones to help them,. This has been going on for more than 80 years. Dumbing down our curriculum and teaching useless social nonsense about that if you are a boy you an change that at great expense to the taxpayers. How does that prepare them for life and making a living?

The rich will use the economic system to get richer. That is legal and has been accepted in our capitalist system. But when they start misusing their wealth to illegally interfere with the political system to create a separate legal system for themselves and their cohorts it becomes increasingly unacceptable. Lately it has become insufferable. And those campaigning against the rich ( spelt oligarchs) are precisely the worst offenders. That resentment is not just jealousy.

Envy has been around since the dawn of man. It is such a powerful motivator that there are, not one, but two commandments that deal with it.

Dimond’s musings are so vacuous and stale. The “we” of whom he speaks are a combination of high level governmental policy-makers and professional money managers. IOW, people who, at their core, don’t really care about the poor and working class but burnish their self-regard by swanning around talking a good game. Their “solutions” always come at a price, not to themselves in any way, but to the honest working to middle-class people who look after their own children and strive to be self-sufficient without complaint. Dimond’s ideas always include transferring wealth and opportunities from such people to the imbecilic underclass of professional welfare recipients and perpetually aggrieved baby-making machines and, now, illegal immigrants.
Rest assured that Jamie Dimond’s three girls all went to the finest prep schools and colleges and they are guaranteed excess privilege throughout their lives. They will lose nothing. And lest I sound embittered or envious, I’m not. I have rubbed elbows and rolled my eyes at phonies like Dimond my entire life. I, too, come from privilege. My kids went to elite prep schools and excellent colleges but I know all about people like Dimond and they’re all furrowed brows and talk. They really don’t give a toss about the poor.

Forget the guilt trip Dimon, who left these people behind is the democrat/communist party. Since the old plantations of the south, democrats still retain their old play book. Keep them dumb and you keep them dependent on the government to live, which means you keep their vote. Look at every democratic run city and you have the same problems, crime, drugs and low IQ. Their public schools are rated the lowest in the country. Their children can neither read, write or do math at the basic levels. They are basically functional illiterates. Every democratic president, governor, mayor and city officials are against school choice, voucher programs and charter schools. These officials are owned by the teachers unions who have total control of the school budgets, which just happens to be the largest part of a city or state budget. So they just steal the money intended for the students. You see without an education you can't get a job because you can't read, write or do math. Your standard of living is at ground zero, all by design. So you see Dimon, this is all part of the democrats agenda and its been like that for decades. The only way to fix it is to get rid of the democratic party. Got it.
