Michael Bloomberg |
“Oh
yeah. I’m a real sonuvabitch. I just hated the poor. I earned a salary of $1
for 12 years of service and spent $650 million of my own money, including $264
million in donations to city cultural institutions like the Met, to cover most
of my travel and other costs. How many politicians do you know that have EVER
done that—used their own money for ANYTHING? What the hell did you want me to do? Give every poor person a couple of hundred bucks?”
Outgoing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, responding to critics of his service
