Very true, Bloomy is a billionaire, as well as the owner of Bloomberg News.

Explains all his control fantasies...

I almost forgot to add that to his resume. Thanks

This guy scares me for the same reason. In our political system today, money IS power. Votes are nearly irrelevant because whatever a person, or group of persons with lots of money wants, they just buy. The real power in government? Follow the money.

Not a believer, just someone who watcheds his bullcrap, a local observer.

I moved to NJ because of him, first off.

Second. This jerk, as a member of city council, somehow circumventedf the peoples will, by being a leading oppositional voice to Rudolph Guilianis third term, pst 9-11.

We the people wanted it, city council said no, lead by mayoral candidate Michael Bloomberg.

He then won the election, then banned smoking in bars, won another a few years later.

When it came his turn for 3rd term, it went through city council no problem, after he won the election it was finally put to vote by the people of NYC, and they struck down the more than 2 terms crap.

Amazing!!

No one tells this story, a modern day Tammany Hall. Google that one, Tammany hall was a doozy, but at least boss Tweed didn't try to ban soda.

I am a local, this scumbucket and his crap decisions hurt my everyday life.

Thanks for sharing. Things sound about as bad, if not worse, then what I was thinking.

From bad to worse, is this guy is stepping from the local stage, to the national one. It is my belief that Bloomberg, or someone like him, could very well be what the face of tyranny in America would look like.
