Michael Bloomberg is New York's finest mayor. He is so incorruptible, he won't accept a salary. He is doing his job as philanthropy.

[CloeBuckingham]

@34thstreetman If you are concerned about illegal aliens in New York, please tell Bloomberg to stop giving them refuge!

[CloeBuckingham]

@PirateEyepatch So you think it is unimaginable that anyone could like Bloomberg without being paid by him? That's cynical.

[CloeBuckingham]

@PirateEyepatch No New Yorker has donated more to charity than Mike Bloomberg in the history of the state.

I assume that someone who owns seven mansions is creating jobs for the employees who maintain them.

[CloeBuckingham]

Bloomberg is kind.

@liftguardpullhandle No, probably on his paid staff. There is no hiring freeze in hiring publicists for the great, uncorruptable Bloomturd.

@TouchingYou I think what CloeBuckingham is saying is that he's the most loved among people that matter -- you know, the billionaires, those with seven mansions around the world, etc. The rest of us working class stiffs don't count in that assessment.

[CloeBuckingham]

@34thstreetman Those people you call middle class are not middle class. They are high proletariat. People tend to overestimate their class by one level.

I see that you are a good Republican who is tired of New York City being an oasis for illegal immigrants.

[34thstreetman]

@CloeBuckingham If the low minimum wage workers leave new york, many will be replaced by illegals at sub minimum wage. In many cases such as restaurant workers, that has probably already happened. If NYC is only going to be set up for the rich, it will be a purely corporate city state without real people such as up and coming artists. I don't accept your premise that the rich are supporting the poor in New York. It's the middle class who had their property taxes raised through the roof.
