    Pay your fair share... I live paycheck to paycheck with only enough to pay my bills. it's not fair that I pay more tax then the 1% in the country . America is getting robbed blind and wall street is the culprit.

    Dear Mr. Dimon,
    You have an opportunity to be an advocate of justice as one of the top leaders in the financial world. I am sure part of you thinks these protests are absurd but another part of you must realize that something has to change. I appeal to you in good faith and respect to organize something within to shed light on this matter of financial corruption.

    I can't live the life I reasonably dreamed of, with 30 yrs of Sr Accountant/Financial Analyst, and audit too in large truck mfg, global supply chain transportation, and also large hospital, med school, research institution.
    
    I'm a CMA, CAPM, and soon to be CPA.  Using Linkedin, and still have an attitude of ethics, independence, objectivity, and team work.
    
    It's wrong to divide us against each other, and even as a Financial Analyst position becomes open, I just one competing against 150-300 for that one job.
    
    Please spend your investment cash, and stop falsely blaming that you pay too much income tax or that you're over regulated,  just excuses to keep lining your rich pockets, and moving around the world for the cheapest labor.  We're skilled, experienced and work hard, so give us a break!

    Be the best self you can be. Why would you want to live your life preying on people weaker than you? Leave the weaker people alone and go after the big fish. The game is more fun when more people have chances to play. With the possibilities of globalization we have a chance to create a new game. Actually, the game is changing whether you want it to or not. So let's work it out with language and communication as opposed to violence. It's the 21st century. Human beings have had over two millenia to get things right. Let's act like it.

  • Your reckless treatment of Earth's resources | 0  

    Coal power?  Oil? Dismantle the EPA? What are you people thinking?  Did all the money you stold from the 99% finance the building of a new planet for you to evacuate to when this one got too filthy to support life?

    For over 15 years I have not gone to a doctor because I don't have health insurance.  But after turning 60, I decided I should get what people with insurance call a YEARLY check up.  
    
    The concept behind a YEARLY check up is to uncover any illness that may not be exhibiting symptoms.  Since I'm healthy and rarely even with a cold, I had no suspicions.
    
    But the test indicated that I have OSTEOPOROSIS with SEVERE bone fracture risk.  And the tests came to a whopping $5,935.01! (Yes, I'm negotiating.)
    
    So, Mr. CEO, stop your war on health care, and stop your war on the middle class, so I too can better take care of those silent killers.

    Wall Street needs to bail out Main Street, not the other way around.

    Why can't you share what you have with others?
    I earn very little as a private school teacher but I give whatever I can to help homeless people in my
    neighborhood as well as those starving in Africa.
    At the same time, my tax rate is higher than yours.
    Pay your fair share of taxes, as one of your own
    Warren Buffett, urges you to do.

  • Banks got bailed out; people got sold out! | 0  

    
    
    I am typing this letter in between fits of coughing.  I think the cold has sunk into my lungs and my voice is nearly gone.  It might be bronchitis or pneumonia, but I have no way of knowing.  I have no health insurance.  While banks got a government bailout, folks like me in the 99% got nothing, not even health care.
    
    It is time that banks give the people back their money, so that we can spend it on human needs not corporate profits, salaries and bonuses for the white collar criminals who tanked the world economy for their own benefit.

  • Your bailout | 0  

    
    
    I don't mean to complain, but it seems that the  banks have turned our country upside down, and have benefitted from the bailout, but aren't passing any of it onto the actual people who are truly in need. The fact that the banks are still actively going after forclosures, when people just can't make it is absolutely unconscionable. !! This is extremely detrimental to the entire country. We obviously need to keep people in their houses in order to maintain at least a semblance of normalcy in this country. Enough is enough!Treat the people the same way you've been treated!
