Retail therapy: Mall chief's $137M year

This guy has cheated the stock holders out of dividends and the hourly workers out of a decent income.

i don't care what you do for a living ... no one is worth that ... and if you think he is your a fool ...

Find me one CEO who does not feel that without him the company would fall flat on it's face!  I'm sure this guy feels the same way! I agree it's the workers who make the company and not the CEO.  But then again I am just one of the workers and some would probably feel that I am biased in my opinion!!!!!

We really need to be looking at not for profit status 501C3 companies.  I am appalled at companies like Ascension Health which is supposed to be for the poor and their CEO makes over 3 million dollars.  Where is the justice in that for serving the poor.

 

Ascension also has the gall to fire people when they reach the 20 years of loyal service to them with so much as no severance and then fight unemployment.

 

I wish the IRS would continue its look at this company.

Top 1% pay 40% of all taxes, and bottom 50% pay no taxes, that is the excuse used by so many Republicans as to why the wealthy should get tax breaks and the poor should pay more taxes. However, what they fail to mention is that the top 1% control 60% of all wealth in this country, while the bottom 50% controls less than 1%. In other words, the bottom 50% is paying their fair share, but the top 1% should be paying 60% taxes. The middle class is shouldering that extra 20% taxes that the top 1% should be paying, which is why middle class America is struggling while the rich keeps getting richer. Tax the rich more if you want the tax system to actually be fair.

ight, right, right.  When  it's a CEO he "deserves" it and everyone else is just "hating" and being jealous....gimme a break!   NO ONE is worth that kind of money, NO ONE!  If his talent really was that valuable then it would be next to impossible to replace him, yet it seems CEO's come and go all the time and the companies seem to move right on without them.     Similarly, why is it totally fine for these guys to be compensated that way because they "earned it" and are "worth it" or are smart enough to have "negotiated" this deal, yet when it's the unions or the little guy who has "earned" their rights and salaries they are considered to be a drain on society, evil, and need to be stopped?  It's huge hypocracy!!  But you were right about one thing, it is class warfare.  The poor and working class have had war waged on them by the wealthy for countless years now and it's only getting worse!!  Just seems that you don't like it when the poor/working class/middle class(vast majority of Americans) fight back against this war waged on them!    More and more of us are educating ourselves on the facts of what is really going on....It's only a matter of time before we really fight back.  So yea,  please keep spouting your nonsense, and keep doing your mental gymnastics to convince yourself that you are really doing good for society by being so selfish and greedy.   The American public in general may be very lazy/apathetic towards these things but if you keep pushing us(which undoubtedly you are) you will awake a sleeping giant and won't know what you've done until it's too late! 

I  think the problem with many people in Mr. Dimon's position truly believe they are worth what they are paid !

You see this with most of the top level people whether they are actors, sports players, doctors, lawyers etc.

After long periods of their being told how "GREAT" they are many start to believe it. So in turn the exorbitant money they receive they begin to truly believe they deserve it.

Put Mr. Dimon in a job digging ditches 8-10 hours a day, or in a job with no health benefits or retirement for a year. I think you would see him change the tune he sings very quickly.
