Scenes from a Bankster Bailout Backlash
I went up to a real working-class event where a crowd gathered outside JP Morgan Chase to demand good jobs in lieu of excessive executive compensation and anti-financial regulatory reform lobbying after we taxpayers bailed out the financial industry.
As Mark Thomas of AFSCME Local 171 says:
‘When JP Morgan and Chase was in trouble, they took $25 billion in our tax dollars to get back on their feet… Now it’s time for JP Morgan and Chase to pay to get working families back on our feet.’
