    When the "base" gets tired of billionaires, they will stop purchasing Google, Apple and Amazon products. Everything points to the opposite ... the 'base' is very happy with billionaires.

    Its the trillionaires that the 'base' is getting tired of. Our two trillionaires includes the corruption in government and the medical cartel.

    Lol.

    I thought about that. Bloomberg's billionaire friends are probably pushing him to run. The wealth tax scares the hell out of them. They are freaking out on tv.

    Send him an email and say you will vote for him if he throws in grad school tuition for the sons and free medical care for the family.

    By this logic, anyone who drinks water out of the tap or drives on a public roadway loves big gubmint.

    Great examples! Im in Florida. The tap water is rated 3rd worse in the country. The state had to double the acceptable chlorine levels. And Florida has 6 of the top 10 deadliest roads in the country.

    Government is doing great here with those two examples. Keep them coming.

    I'm not in agreement with it. With the current political climate, I'm pretty sure the uber rich wouldn't mind a surcharge tax on income.

    So let me get this straight he keeps saying Bloomberg is a great manager, smart guy and did a good job with NY but he tried to ban big gulps so he is no go.

    Seems legit.

    Someone in this thread seems os triggered by Bloomberg. This should be good news, isn't Bloomberg a moderate Democrat?

    bloomberg is not inspirational and his positions are all over the place. however, he is super organized and super smart. he is a gifted manager and is probably the one person out there who might be able to get things done in this hyper partisan era. if you want "moderate", he is the one. not saying he is my first choice, but i don't hate the idea.

    Didn't know much about Bloomberg but the big gulp ban, everybody seems to be in consensus that he is a good to great manager and that's really all I want at this time.

    Sign me up.

    This.

    Every candidate has issues. I'm looking for either the most competent or one that has ideas that will help the most people without farking up the system. For the record, we have made donations to multiple candidates. You got to let this thing play out.
