Implode-o-Meter News - Jamie Dimon: 'It's A Free. Fucking. Country.'

``When asked him about his consistent defense of Wall Street and criticism of financial rules, Dimon pushed back, saying he considered himself more "an outspoken defender of the truth." "This is not the Soviet Union," he continued. "This is the United States of America. That's what I remember. Guess what.... It's a free. Fucking. Country."
Since the financial crisis, Dimon has embraced his role as defender of Wall Street. Earlier this month, he said the larger problem surrounded scapegoating and finger-pointing, rather than systemic problems in his industry. ''

And of course it's especially free to be aloof and smug about how great your "business" is despite being propped up by the entire US financial regulatory apparatus (and ad hoc legislative bailouts like TARP).
