Tax-and-Spend Bloomberg

It seems to me that, if you understand the mayors "main driving force", none of the things he says or does would surprise. The mayor has one overriding goal, and that is to "GENERATE REVENUE"! That's all he knows! Perhaps it comes from his business background, where nothing else mattered. But as mayor, he's playing with "real" people! We're not some pieces on his personal Monopoly board! The mayor forgets that we don't all have his massive wealth. Most of us have all-to-do just to get by in this city, and much of that daily pressure is thanks to the mayor and his insatiable desire to generate more revenue!

What ever happened to that $4+ BILLION surplus we had a year or so ago? Perhaps, if the mayor stopped inviting (and supporting) more illegals to come here, those of us who belong here, and work hard to support this city, might just catch a break!
