Bought and Sold.
They only had to send two severed horse heads in 2012. Word is they get them cheap from Europe.
Sold for relatively cheap too. That's all DC has; escorts, calll-boys, and congress. DC is full of whores.
markets rally on the news
I would say JPM is getting a huge return off of its political contributions.
Did they take over Goldmann's deal with Satan? Oh I mean Bernanke.
Levin is different. Oh wait...
your name is Levin?
You call yourself a sales man you son of a bicth?

Lobby should read Bribery
Theiving,
Cunts.
These fuckers are nothing but the fucking mob. No, they're fucking worse. Fucking lobbying is bribing, and these fucking costs are going up in concert with their fucking increase of financial fucking terrorism they fucking wage upon the fucking middle class. These fuckers deserve nothing less than a fucking extremely painful fucking death. Fucking shit eating assholes.

Money well spent it seems.
"Corporations are people too," the Supremes opined.
Have a heart.
not true
corporations are "persons", not people. big difference. a person, in law, is a legal fiction. people are flesh and blood human beings, also actors, acting on behalf of persons
Our Platinum Club members ($7mm and up) can expect world class pampering when testifying before Congress, our premium bailout package and up to 20 one hour meetings with the POTUS per year.
and your staff can co-write (ie write) any bills with CONgress while the white house staff/CONgress flunkie staff play angry birds and generally act like 12 year olds.
Banksters (I use the term in a very general sense) have attempted to manipulate and profit from the US government at least since the transition to the Constitution and Hamilton's first Bank of the United States. For better or worse, the JPM lobbying efforts are simply the latest in a long line of such attempts. For an interesting, albeit dry, exploration of this, consider a book by Scott Nelson named "A Nation of Deadbeats". http://www.amazon.com/Nation-Deadbeats-Uncommon-Financial-Disasters/dp/0....
I derive no monetary benefit from mentioning this, but I did derive an intellectual benefit from reading it.
Once Glass-Steagall got dead, these fuckerz really picked up the payoff pace. Shocked and surprised not.
As long as the money is rolling in, there is no problem. When things go bad the corporate entity needs to find a scapegoat (as in minor player who likley participated in fraud. although not necessary) to wash itself clean and protect the higher ups who knew what was going on. Armstrong = Iskill = Clemens = Sandusky. If you are an owner, you are an active participant, if you know of a situation and choose to take no action.
Ownership (Cycling Federation, JPM, MLB, Penn State) files an "independent" study stating lack controls, no one at fault, "we have a committee to review and improve oversight". Money is donated to campaigns. Let the healing begin now that the corporate entity is washed clean.
Success is bought, One Politician at a Time.
what?can't be the door to lobbyists was closed some time ago.
Is Dimon still meeting with Obama every week or is just Lloyd?
Appears Goldman Sachs is down a bit on donations. Must be the economy...

I always find it amusing that people take these official numbers seriously.
The real bribery is probably 100's of times bigger - maybe more. And it never flows through any legal channels. I mean to say, these are same banks that launder money for drug cartels.
Cause or effect of regulatory investigation?
That's why they're richer than us.
Adjusted for inflation, it's much less dramatic. But if you really think this chart tells the whole story...
