I would say 'typical' statist tantrum when denied a fresh power-grab, yet this one is really a bit over the top...
The NY Post (via JWF) is reporting an incident where Mayor Bloomberg confronted a cab fleet operator in a private club over his recent court defeat re. his utopian 'Cab of the Future' program. Hissoner seems to have made quite an ass of himself in fact, threatening at the top of his lungs -with red face- while utilizing the 'F' word twice to underscore his point.
And what's he all worked-up about? Seems his cab-replacement program (that was to force cab operators in the NYC metro area to dump iconic American sedans for a MANDATORY Nissan minivan that is assembled in Spain) got shot-down in court... and this is a guy who thinks it's his mission in life to tell Gotham City residents what to eat, drink, think, and drive, so now he's pissed. Of course the judge is WRONG and it's not his fault for overreaching his authority or anything...

Talkin to me? |
It was bad enough when we lost Checker... but who needs to see Times Square packed with 200 of these butt-ugly grocery-getters?
Although it's hard to deny they make a decent car, Nissan knows this is the Hollywood product placement of all time... one they get to make a profit on instead of paying millions in fees to the studios. Can you imagine if Trump was mayor? He'd be charging them to have the brand featured in movies for coming decades. Bloomberg knows that he's making Manhattan look less American, too- and forever- just like that mosque he is so inexplicably fond of.
What would have been wrong with the FORD Transit Connect NYC taxi proposal- from the Last Real American Car Company? Yeah- Obama doesn't much care for those headstrong capitalist robber-barons either.
The Union of the Unemployed's demand that the cabs be built in the United States fell on deaf ears at City Hall. Lobbying group Americans United Against a Nuclear Iran pushed hard for FoMoCo, as Nissan have been doing business with Tehran, counter to US security interests.
One of greenfreak Bloomie's primary motives for going with the Japanese car was purported to be a modular drivetrain design with hard points that allow for an "upgrade" to full electric power in the future... surely the good folks living in the shadow of coal-fired electric plants over in NJ are thrilled to hear that Manhattan's auto emission problems will eventually be outsourced to them, as will be mountains of highly-toxic spent batteries then making their way to Jersey scrapyards.

I think the answer lives here:
A starving man just subconciously assumes that all normal people think about is getting more food. He is projecting - and thinking small. They “normal people” are thinking about getting more money.
The middle class just subconciously assume that all rich people think about is getting more money. They are projecting and thinking small. The rich are thinking about usurping and exercising more POWER.

That’s what I always tell people. Money is not the object. The attempt to control resources in order to attain more power over you and I is the only object.

Investigate whether Bloomie owns stock in the Nissan minivan project !!
Given the Solyndra and other libturd “Green Projects” , I wouldn’t be surprized that Bloomie has a financial interest !

And for $1,000 the question is: Who is the biggest a**hole in New York City? While the answer has got to be "Bloomberg", you have to admit it's a deep and talented field he's running against.

The biggest concern with billionaires is you having the opportunity to become a billionaire and moving into your neighborhood.
They can’t have that.

He “believes” he owns New York and the people. Unruly children in his opinion...never sees his position as one of “service” to the people...but ‘ruler’ over them.
...and STILL the American people, on a whole, are blind to these guys!
