No one is worth one billion dollars, and I was dismayed that one of Bloomberg's hosts, Stephanie Rue, was so quick to defend Dimon's compensation, marginalizing that only the "extreme left and right had problems with it". She also mentioned Elizabeth Warren and Ron Paul in that context.
Ms Rue has always been quick to interject her personal pro banking bias into interviews and news stories which I personally find troublesome with many in the so-called forth estate who do this
I did see her interview Elizabeth Warren some time back, and Warren destroyed everyone of her arguments. I wish all Democrats were as articulate as Elizabeth Warren

We, OTOH, have ruined much of the globe's economy, including our own...yet we still get to print Dollars...with our worthless debt financial "brilliance" instruments...Dimon is the worst of the bunch. He is Seth Blatter geometrically expanded in guilt.

Yes, I know there are quite a few individuals in that category, but it is still an obscene amount, which only highlights how income inequality is getting worse
