Occupy NC Mic Checks Wells Fargo CEO

The President of Wells Fargo got Mic Checked the other day as he addressed a crowd at NC State. In case you can't make out what they are saying. The words are below.

Mic Check!

Mic Check!

John Stumpf

We won’t take your home

but we will take a minute of your time.

Your leadership has led to

the death of the American Dream.

Wells Fargo is guilty

of widespread predatory lending

And holds over 5.7 billion in student debt.

Wells Fargo targets people of color

And the poor for high interest student loans,

urging loan officers to misreport income and forge documents.

Wells Fargo foreclosed

On hundreds of thousands of homes last year,

Many of them illegally.

Wells Fargo has been fined

85 Million dollars for its crimes,

You have issued no admission

Of guilt or apology.

Wells Fargo took 25 billion

In taxpayer dollars,

The larges bailout in bank history,

Yet reaped 4.1 billion last year

While paying no federal income tax.

You yourself made 19 million last year

Making you the highest paid bank CEO in America.

Furthermore

you invested nearly 100 million dollars

In racist for-profit prisons

While lobbying for harsher anti-immigrant legislation.

You are what is wrong with the culture of Wall Street.

A culture that values corporations

More than rights of “people” with hearts and minds.

A culture that buys politicians

And corrupts our democracy.

A culture that exploits the dreams

Of working class and middle class Americans.

For the benefit of the 1 percent.

John Stumpf

Have you no shame?
