the titans of finance have soursour . here s jamie dimon of jpmorgan chase on meet the press describing his own political affiliation in the wake of the president s first term. you supported president obama, you re a democrat, still? i would call myself a barely democrat at this point. i didn t support anyone last time around. i am a democrat, yes. so, what happened? why barely a democrat now? you know, i ve gotten disturbed at some of the democrats anti-business behavior and the sentiment and the attacks on work ethic and successful people and i think it s very counterproductive. attacks on work ethic. can someone please say to me when president obama has attacked the work ethic? how do you respond to that jamie dimon quote?
community from the ground up. very exciting to see prince put on a show. he will do it in partnership with rebuild a dream. the republican party should know, especially those who spoke at the convention, immigrant does not arrive to an empty country. native americans are never talked about. tomorrow on labor day, the council workers bill of rights was passed in california, which would give 200,000 basic immigrants, mostly women, to overtime pay, they can sleep if they are livins, the farmworker safety act also passed which allows workers to sue employees who fail to provide clean drinking water and shade only when it hits 85 degrees. what happens when it s 83? i guess you have to put on a hachlt these bills on the desk of california governor jerry brown. if you live there, call him. get these bills passed. yes, yes. you should compare the actual platforms of the democratic party and the republican party,
