New York (CNN Business) JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon believes some politicians are giving people the wrong impression of him. He's a champion of the middle-class, too, he says.

"I think the wealthy have been getting wealthier too much in many ways, so middle-class incomes have been kind of flat for maybe 15 years or so, and that's not particularly good in America," Dimon said in an interview with Lesley Stahl for "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday. "I think it's a huge problem."

Dimon noted that people who are worst-off financially have been particularly left behind by the American economy. That echoes the message of progressive Democratic presidential candidates, including Senator Elizabeth Warren.

"I understand that a person in this seat is going to be targeted in this day and age by certain politicians and stuff like that," said Dimon.
