The chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co, Jamie Dimon, waded into the U.S. fiscal debate on Wednesday when he said he was willing to pay a higher individual tax rate while calling for lower corporate taxes so U.S. business can compete in a global economy.
"I don't mind paying 39.6 percent in taxes," Dimon said in an interview in Washington at the Council on Foreign Relations, backing the Democrats' position. He added he might back an increase in the capital gains tax rate to 20 percent, another proposal by President Barack Obama.
Republicans want to extend low rates that expire on December 31 for all income groups, while Obama and Democrats want to extend the lower rates only for households earning up to $250,000.
Dimon is one of several CEOs lobbying lawmakers to create more certainty around tax and budget issues, as the United States faces a "fiscal cliff" of $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts should Congress fail to act by the end of the year.

Didn’t congress pass the Buffet law? Pay up, you’re more than welcome to pay that, Dimon.
How about reimbursing the US Treasury all the bonuses Jaime paid out of the first Porkulus bill?
Yes, that would be an excellent start!
Why not just mail extra to the IRS? They would keep his extra “donation”. No one is standing in the way of this idiot or Buffet from paying whatever they wish. They both know that the Muslim will help those who help him so likely they won’t pay more even if taxes are raised on others.
The thing is, there’s nothing stopping all the bleeding heart limousine liberals from paying in more taxes than the law requires.

Uh huh....okay, raise your hand if you think Dimon paid anywhere near 39.6 % in taxes.
I assume Dimon has been having his tax preparer calculate his taxes since 09 WITHOUT the “Bush” tax cuts, right?
Of course. Also, no mortgage, or personal business deductions....charitable deductions....etc.
Beyootiful! We need to get this link to Dimon-back rattler soon. Surely they have a character in Atlas Shrugged Part Deux that resembles this moron.
He can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk?
Doubtful.
