Tool Time: Bloomberg Defends Banks Against Occupy Wall St.

[joyashvr]

he is not in touch with regular people, you need to vote him out of office. now you know

[VerseInfinitum]

For everybody reading my comment, just go to this video and view it for yourselves and you'll clearly understand why Mayor Bloomberg defends the banks. Here it is:

watch?v=6Hy6X6yDybU&feature=fe­edu

Then you'll know that Mayor Bloomberg is the banker's mayor and not the people's mayor.

[oudmontage]

Peaceful protests should not be disruptive to the lives of citizens. Blocking the Brooklyn Bridge is not peaceful. It is an attack on the non-wall street citizens who need to go about their daily lives.  There is no peacefull message delivered. Therefore, Occupy is not a peaceful protest and should be stoped!

[GlimmerOfLight]

He can pretend/defend as much as he wants, but he has no integrity.

Bloomberg owns over 80% of Bloomberg LP, a $30 billion corporation that gets most of its income from Wall Street. That's the biggest conflict of interest I have ever seen from someone who holds public office.

I wish soccerfan065 learns how to be more respectful... and use proper spelling and punctuation. Bloomberg is a greedy tool bag but that doesn't pave way for your Anti-Semitic rhetoric.

[soccerfan065]

i wish Hitler just got rid of all the jews ,so we didnt have to deal with this jewish Major, and his bankers in wall street

[conspr33]

Another billionaire in bed with the rest of the scum!!!!! REVOLUTION NOW!!!! NO EXCUSES, NO REGRETS...GLOBAL!!!!

[image5100]

I see why the NYC Police have been out of hand, through the direction of Bloomberg. Bloomberg you moron this is why they're protesting! There are one set of laws for the wealthy and one set for the poor. You just admitted that on this tool time segment. I thought you were smarter than that I guess I was wrong. But thanks for being foolishly honest. This is why we can't get over it because nothing has been done! Wake up, step out of your vault and pay attention to the people who elected you.

[worldmayhem]

Bloomberg is a traitor ,lets all pay him a visit. Protest outside his house.

[Pillzee1500]

people on wall street make 30 to 40k a year? Maybe his employees. He's outta touch. Who the fuck in NYC makes that?? unless u work at McDonalds

[DutchsMaria]

People are not demonstrating against people making 40-50k a year. The Banks on Wall street have participating in gambling games with the help of the welfare bailouts by the taxpaerys, against our own U.S cities. This is a well known fact. We have a Corporate Government that has the Banks and big Corp on welfare. Its called Corporatism...BitBanks/Big corp in bed with corrupt and bought up Govt VERSUS small business/Banks and the Individual. Next please!

[trustinstinct]

I know because they did it to me. Morgan Stanley my broker lied to my face for years while he slowly drained a cool half million form my account with outright deception. The old shell game trick.

[trustinstinct]

From what I have seen they use the investors like sheep to move stocks. They work together in unison to boost it's value with your money after they have all invested themselves. The stock climbs because of the surge of investors. The fund managers all immediately sell there stock the market declines because of the outsurge of investment. Your stock loses money and they say well markets fluctuate. They walk with millions and go on vacation while the investors take the loss in retirement savings.

[trustinstinct]

these guys on wall street made billions manipulating markets at the expense of the average investor. They had and still have inside information that they share with each other. It is illegal but almost impossible to control with the current regulations. Someone powerful did not like Martha Stewart because it is so rare for someone to go to jail for this crime. She was set up.

[trustinstinct]

those people he mentioned that make 40 - 50 thousand a year on wall street are struggling because of the people who take a billion dollars for themselves. It throws of the economic balance they are fighting for the crumbs. He doesn't care this is obvious.

[trustinstinct]

What he did was develop computers for trading. He made a billion taking little percentages like a bank that increment into a lot. How could a guy make a billion dollars out of thin air coming out of knowhere with fair stock trading ?

[trustinstinct]

Why does Bloomberg seem so friendly in interviews but then sends out his cops like thugs to disrupt them on a criminal level. There tactics aer endangering the protesters and he is liable for that. I was astonsihed to see them bring out horses into the middle of the protesters. Horses are highly sensitive powerful animals that do not belong in tight spaces around a crowd of people with the police attacking them. Bloomberg should be put on trial for this. He made a billion plus fleecing grandma.

[projectbrumaire]

LONG LIVE MICHAEL BLOOMBERG

Hes right! The pressure should be on the government!

RT thanks for honest news.. We don't get much of it in the states..

[bannblue62]

that man is an absolute fanny.a parasite if ever there was one.he should go and swallow a bottle of arsenic.

[vonnes3]

Michael Bloomberg is a typical you know what.

[zackzelmo]

@vonnes3

A "tribesman?"

[angelis021]

Who keeps voting for this guy?

[Shockofsanta]

I wonder when that piece of shit is going to hide when the lynch mob comes for him.

[lekesha00]

@Shockofsanta bloomberg is so small, that piece of shit could hide under dog shit and nobody would notice him lol

[beancube2010]

Jobs? You don't need jobs destroying your own, your families', your kids' and your friends' lives.

Banks? You don't need banks destroy both your own, your communities' or your country's economy neither.

Insider trading loops are one big fraud for most political parties, corporations, governments, and Enterprise businesses. Insider capitol politics and monopoly industry insiders love loop-crisis and loop-holes for them to manipulate and repeat bad histories on the population they manage.

[lekesha00]

bloomberg is a sneaky clever greedy scumbag

[kmgilroy89]

You people are extremely ignorant. Stop blaming banks for crap. Like any business they are there to protect their interests and make a profit. Our political system is the problem. Michael Bloomberg is the best thing that could have happened to this city. He got it under fiscal control, something neither party in Washington have no interest in doing.

[tctctctc4]

@kmgilroy89 Robber Bankers? Economy wreckers? Scooping up the worlds wealth with their fiat money, bankers? Hello? Are we on the same planet?

[kmgilroy89]

@tctctctc4

LOL. Robbers? Most investment bankers are ethical. Sure there are some bad just like any other business. Why don't you blame all the idiots buying houses they couldn't afford:? How about our idiot politicians? Do you want the banks to be socialized so we can give out more loans to companies like Solyndra?

[lekesha00]

@kmgilroy89 bloomberg is the worst thing that ever happened to the city. he made this city 10X more divided then the previous mayor. he is a crook w/ an empire. stop supporting these types.

[kmgilroy89]

@lekesha00

LOL. Rudy kept putting this city more and more in debt. Bloomberg actually understands balancing budgets and the city compared to national standards is doing wonderful. NYC has also taken a lead role in setting the standards for charter schools across the nation under him. I know it's easy to blame rich people for your problems.

[lekesha00]

@kmgilroy89 bloomberg destroyed the public school system in nyc. he's doing a wonderful job if youre in some hedge fund scam, but not for regular people. how can a billionaire who buys elections relate to the regular new yorker? he panders the the mega rich & gets great joy laying off more & more people. there rich people are not hard working, they are scam artists who play by their own rules of greed. bloomberg got no budget under control my ass, he should lay off his own staff first. wake up!

[zackzelmo]

@kmgilroy89

The mega rich have gamed the system. The mega rich use capitalism to manipulate rules that protect them and harm us. The mega rich don't give a shit about you Why do you care about them? The delusion that you can one day become mega rich is a myth. As the mega rich have become more wealthy our country has failed miserably. Why can't you make that correlation?

[kmgilroy89]

@zackzelmo

Everybody was doing just fine until this downturn started in about 2007 and the rich were getting rich before that. It's easy to blame hard working intelligent people for your problems. It's easy to blame the greatest innovators in the world. Anybody but yourself and your own mistakes.

[zackzelmo]

@kmgilroy89

Henry Ford was an innovator, Steve Jobs was one too. Yet you would have us believe that the greatest innovators are hedge fund managers and manipulators of the capital market??????? LMAO.

We have the largest gap between the extremely rich and poor and you don't have any problem with that? When will you have a problem with that disparity? I predict you will wake up too late when you find that you have no money to buy toilet paper with.

[theTRUTHprincess]

another NEO-CON "american" traitor

bloomberg = pro-corporations, pro-war, pro-federal reserve/bankers, and pro-ISRAEL!

[TheJasonDR]

@theTRUTHprincess like basically most americans look buddy ...your a minority in those respects....no one likes war but we have to go fight fro the world...and die for the greater good....also dont be anti corporations since socialism is not a pretty thing to get into ..and the fed reserve does more good then bad

[theTRUTHprincess]

@TheJasonDR

LOL!!!

most Americans are just repeating the LIES and PROPAGANDA they were told by the LYING ZIONIST MSM!

Americans DO NOT have an original opinion of their own on these subject matters!

Once ANY american gets exposed to the TRUTH of the situation they realize what a COMPLETE FARCE it all is.

based on your comments it appears you need to WAKE THE F**K UP and smell the MATRIX!

actually, ONLY a HASBARA DECEIVER goes around saying things like "the fed does more good"!!! LMFAO

[tripleleo]

@TheJasonDR

Fight for the world? Are you fucking insane? Or just stupid?

[Zooni2]

TARP was supposed to be a hey banks start lending money, not a hey banks buy other banks give HUGE corporate bonuses and don't lend money. The uncertainty argument is a fraud to the American people.

[Zooni2]

Purchased politicians will say what they are told.

[veniceit1]

The banksters and Wall Street Gangsters have JEWED the American people big time. Now the American people want to even the playing field and prosecute those who JEWED the American working and unemployed people out of their houses. It is time for America to jail all of the hunkered down criminals and return the money back to the people.

[Prancer1231]

Bloomberg is a total tool and trying to protect his evil ilk.

[petersz98]

The banksters have stolen $1 trillion from the American people:- the biggest bank robbery in history. Its no different than what Bonnie and Clyde or Al Capone used to do, except they never stole such colossal amounts of money! The heads of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, JP Morgan etc. should all be arrested and charged with embezzelment, money laundering and fraud. But of course they just bribe the politicians to get away with it just like Al Capone use to do! LOL

[drunkalfuzzyness]

@ 1:30 ok you are so full of bullshit Bloomberg! you think we worry to much about "why we got into problems opposed to how we go forward" so you are saying the banks should not learn from their greedy mistakes and we the sheep should sit back and do nothing to make a change. oh yeah well your an idiot. this is the way to go forward, not by creating more of a mess of the banking system.

[MatrixSaturation]

This guy is not stupid, he's knows about the rampant corruption in the banks and how the poor are exploited to profit the very rich. He choose to protect them because they fund his political campaign when they're not partying together.

This protest is against the billionaires destroying the social equilibrium, not against the middle class.

What a disgrace to live like this without shame.

[debtbully3]

Justice!Bankers in prison!We will not pay your debt!

[paulo101]

So Bloomberg is for putting people in debt... because without debt there would be no need for money.

[100zavisa]

Bloomberg thinks that we are all sheeps

[aaronpolitical]

I was so sad to find out that, yes, of course Bloomberg is sold out as well.

[imN0Ttheone]

RT= propaganda 

[petersz98]

The banksters have trashed the NYPD's pension! Just as in the Russian revolution the army turned against the Government the cops should allow the mob to raid the "too big to fail" banks and seize the stolen billions of dollars from the American people whilst arresting the financial terrorists who work in them!

[avideogameplayer]

How much Bloomberg is worth?

[aaronpolitical]

@avideogameplayer Billions.

[Kevinovations]

YOUR SO RIGHT  WHAT A TOOL

[expatted]

Douche bag.

[paulcoonan]

Talk about "mob rule", or maybe just a pure coincidence, JPMorgan Chase recently donated an unprecedented $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation. So I ask you, who does the NYPD work for? Would the Brooklyn Bridge mass arrest have happened without the help of JP Morgan Chase?

[thehtmlgenius]

Bloomberg is a major TOOL. Sad.

[brastmonkey]

Bloomberg is to the financial crisis what Obama was to Bush's war crimes. "It's in the past, what we need to do now is look forward." Fuck you Bloomberg, it was the biggest crime of the century and the fact you so callously brush it off either means you're an idiot or you were part of it.

[GhstsnGuitars]

This man is the Enemy of Democracy and Everything that would be good for the ordinary Person! He's a Billionaire, and should not be the Mayor of N.Y.C. as he did a backroom deal to get re elected for a third term... HE IS BEYOND ARROGANT! This man has to go...

[Stevie68000]

Michael Bloomberg is Jew

[deadlyorgans]

@Stevie68000 So is Bernie Sanders who is on the other side of this... So is John Stewart and plenty of progressives against the wall street bankers... so shut up you naive piece of dog crap.

[marionettedavid]

...and what does that have to do with anything?...So is Noam Chomsky...So is John Stewart...So are massive amounts of people who are against the banksters....

Stevie68000 is a racist.

[new1heights]

swear to god, where the fuck are the hitman at, him and ben bernankie would of been #1 on my list gimme a sniper and i'll do it

[veniceit1]

If the fed would give the demonstrators two hundred million dollars each to buy (get elected) the office of mayor of New York City (no pun intended for unguilty office holders}, there could be real change on Wall Street and in New York City. There is just too many slick super rich people with too much money and too much power that have squeezed out all the little guys. Democracy has become a cruel joke for the voters and most Americans.

[Oceanno69]

Let it GO to HELL!

[1hitgirl69]

Luls hack bloombergs personal accounts and tell the world which type of porn he rubz it out to.

[riethc]

lol

[CrystalsandCandles]

Really Alyona? You don't understand Bloomberg defending Corporate interests or are you just being facetious? I imagine a quick check on his campaign donations would answer the question. The only thing that surprises me is that any politicians are supporting the occupation of Wall Street.

[weazal120183]

fuck bloomberg, your a crook too.......

9% unemployment my ass, Try 20%!

[Will224000]

...Michael Bloomberg is on the List...

[dfg93353]

If only we could have gave the banks more. Poor job creators :(

[rextrek]

Im shocked I tells ya...shocked......NOT!

[ANTIDALLARD]

Mayor FUCKberg
