In his annual letter to shareholders, distributed last week, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon took aim at socialism, warning it would be “a disaster for our country,” because it produces “stagnation, corruption and often worse.”
Dimon should know. He was at the helm when JPMorgan received a $25bn socialist-like bailout in 2008, after it and other Wall Street banks almost tanked because of their reckless loans.
Billionaire CEO Jamie Dimon leveled for gobbling up government handouts while whining about socialism
Yep. He really said that. With a straight face.

You know they paid that all back, don't you?
The government made a big profit.
What other socialist ever paid back their government "handout"?
JPMorgan made a big profit and got away with paying peanuts.
Dimon in the Rough
The Treasury made $1.73 billion on their short term loan to JPMorgan.
Not a handout.
And JPMorgan was able to deduct most of the cost of the payback AND get away with paying pennies in fines. Good going baby bush!
