Overheard in New York City:


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?”
