Ever notice that when Dems rail against “the rich,” they’re not talking about people like Bloomberg, as well as the millionaires in Hollywood and the New York-Washington corridor. Why the Republicans don’t point out this hypocrisy, I don’t know.

Scary is that we have folks on here who cheerlead the Business Socialist/Free Trader Communist nonsense put out by Bloomburqa’s news channel.

So many rich Socialists...Bloomburqa, Buffett, Zuckerberg, Gates...are all Free Trader Communist Globalists...and too many folks on here cheerlead their views

America has the best government that money can buy. What a corrupt SOB. The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves. We’ve failed them.

Since DeBlasio always spews ridiculous BS about how he wants to “undo” Bloomberg’s legacy, someone should bring up stuff like this to him, and ask DeBlasio if he plans on funding Republicans to counter Bloomberg’s efforts.
