Why is Jamie Dimon a "Democrat"?

[kentuck]

Is it because he believes in the principles of the Democratic Party? Does he believe in higher taxes for the wealthy and regulation on big banks and big corporations? I rather doubt it.

So why is he a Democrat?

Because he wants favors and he feels he can get more favors at the moment by being a Democrat. So far, it has worked for him.

Political Party means very little to these folks. They will claim any Party that will personally advance their accumulation of wealth.

Jamie Dimon is not alone. There are many others.

1. I doubt he's a racist asshole.

Which takes him out of the muck of the modern Repig party. He's just a greedy asshole covering his bets by betting on both teams.

2. he's a New Yorker, born

and bred. New Yorkers of all classes and belief systems are largely Democrats. I didn't meet a professed Publican until I was in my late 30's, and HE came from Ohio.

3. Hw may also think the Republicans will ruin the economy

They have, for some time, been noticeably dumber than Democrats. If you want to make money, you need a competent government.
