Billionaire Bloomberg is angry at Andrew Cuomo for
“snooping around.”
Comments the Gothamist
Never mind that the bonuses were paid out with taxpayer bailout money; airing dirty laundry is simply not done in Bloomberg’s rarefied world.
Us commoners have really, really bad manners.
“I don’t think you’d be wanting somebody snooping around in your private life,
No, but then, remember this, Mike?
The police started spying on protesters a year before the actual convention.
For at least a year before the 2004 Republican National Convention, teams of undercover New York City police officers traveled to cities across the country, Canada and Europe to conduct covert observations of people who planned to protest at the convention, according to police records and interviews.From Albuquerque to Montreal, San Francisco to Miami, undercover New York police officers attended meetings of political groups, posing as sympathizers or fellow activists, the records show.
And not only did the NYPD identify possible rabble rousers, the police also “chronicled the views and plans of people who had no apparent intention of breaking the law” – from church groups to death penalty critics – even city officials!
But that’s OK, as they were not billionaires…
And just in case some of you say: Bloomberg who? – he is part of Bipartisan Day today at the White House, with Ahnuld. I wonder what they’ll talk about?

Maybe Bloomberg is so disturbed by Cuomo’s investigations because he is afraid that if Billionaires are no longer off limits, he might be in line to have a little investigating done on himself.
The bigger they come, the harder they fall, and after Madoff goes to jail it’s time to start in on someone else who is living high on the hog and just wonder how he accumulated all that money.
If the truth were known there are enough of them out there to fill a special jail just for them.
Bloomberg’s cry that they shouldn’t be penalized because AIG is a private company doesn’t hold water. It’s no longer private when by rights 80% of it belongs to the American taxpayer. When the American taxpayer has to bail you out you have lost your right to scream private.

Bloomberg: leave poor pharma alone – they are poor! « Not Your Sweetie
[...] After comiserating with the bonus recipients (from taxpayers money), and having told us Obama lives on a budget, this time, Bloomberg cried in his teacup for Pharma . For the billionaire who bought NYC – twice – they make peanuts “You know, last time I checked, pharmaceutical companies don’t make a lot of money, their executives don’t make a lot of money – not that they couldn’t do better,” the mayor told WOR host John Gambling as the duo discussed health care from during their weekly radio show.
