READ ENTIRE MIC CHECK SCRIPT 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?

By members of Occupy Raleigh and Occupy NCSU.

  • @TheAsianRepublican well, your response is at least civil, for which I'm grateful. I still maintain that they did a great job in presenting their argument, and if you read the list of charges against Wells Fargo then they have a very compelling argument. This guy deserves to be challenged, and I'm inspired by the way that they did it. Otherwise the mainstream media will just drown out the rest of us. Thanks again, buddy.

  • shame on those next generation scum for clapping down the truth. Was this a job hunting excursion for these pimps or what?

see all

  • STANDING OVATION FOR OCCUPY!

  • So it's John Stumpfs fault that people borrowed money and didn't pay it back?

  • The part in the auditorium was awesome! Very well executed and intelligently planned. The chanting outside brought the point down to the level of a junior high pep-rally...ugh!

  • Some people just can't stop riding the corporate dick

  • I made a compilation of all the craziest, high-profile mic checks. If any of you are interested, check out "Occupy vs. Top 1%" It's got Karl Rove, Michelle Bachmann, Geraldo Rivera, and many others getting mic checked.
