If you want to know how elitist the Democrats are and how superior they believe themselves to be, here's @MikeBloomberg saying the poor should be taxed so they don't use that extra money to hurt themselves. pic.twitter.com/cb7OhmicRu— Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) January 28, 2020

So does Bloomberg think it's a good idea to tax the poor?
Sure... because regressive taxes on goods will help the poor live longer!

LOL Is THAT the best you can do?
Bloomberg is here referring to the fact that taxing sugary drinks can discourage poorer people from drinking them and thus help prevent them from dying prematurely from obesity.
The same is true of cigarettes, as we have long been aware. How terrible that so many poor people's lives have been saved because higher cigarette taxes have discouraged them from smoking.
Seems Bloomberg has got all you Trump sycophants terribly frightened.

And? Isn't that exactly what I stated? Taxes on goods (or sin taxes as it were) are regressive by nature and tend to hit the poor harder. Bloomberg is suggesting that it's up to the government to make these choices...
I guess if you can afford to buy a big slushy and pay the extra tax, then you are free to get fat and have health concerns. If you are poor and don't have the money to pay the extra in taxes, then that choice is taken away from you.
I guess if you feel the desire, need, or obligation to "protect" poor people from their own financial and health decisions... then this is the ticket and Bloomberg is your man!
But I believe it was just the other day that the Reverend Hypocrite suggested that Bloomberg did not want to use taxes and the government to manipulate the spending habits of poor people. Sure looks like he does!
I don't remember saying that (perhaps I was quoting an article?) but I can see why you're afraid:
__________
A new Quinnipiac poll shows Bernie Sanders leading the Democratic presidential race nationally with 25%, followed by Joe Biden at 17%, Michael Bloomberg at 15%, Elizabeth Warren at 14%, Pete Buttigieg at 10% and Amy Klobuchar st 4%.
Said pollster Tim Malloy: “Is the Bloomberg camp prepping the white horse for him to ride to the rescue? Maybe not yet, but without setting foot in Iowa or New Hampshire, he is suddenly a looming shadow over the primary field.”
__________
Mighty Mike has real potential, so tremble, tremble, tremble. :-)
What's a matter Reverend Hypocrite?
Don't like Bernie at the top of your ticket? Desperate for someone else to come along now that slow Joe is quickly fading like most of us figured he would?
The two billionaires (Bloomberg and Steyer) have outspent the rest of the Democratic field combined and still represent less than 15% in the national polls between the two of them. Money cannot buy a candidacy!
Perhaps mini-Mike will garner his lift shoes, and milk crate to stand on if he ever decides to join a debate and get in the mix. But for now, he is flying under the radar taking no criticism or attacks from the other candidates... because even after spending $200 million, he is still losing.
LOL
I have sense enough to know that Bernie is too easily dismissed as a 'socialist' by your side, and that could mean Eugene McCarthy all over again.
Don't want that. Want a winning candidate.
Bloomberg may be it.
Another fucking asshole Lil Schitty would love to emulate.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

About as credible and stupid as you, Lil Schitty......

philly tried this on sugary drinks, mostly soda. but it didn't hurt the poor. it hurt the merchants. as with most prohibitionary (?) government tactics those targeted find a work-around. the poor hopped onto public transportation, cruised to discount stores just beyond the city limits, and bought their soda pop by the case.
the city of philly enjoyed a DECLINE in tax revenue, and the merchants saw a significant decline in business.
liberal brilliance at its finest.
for some reason whenever i see a collection of the democrat candidates i hear the bud light "real men of genius" song playing in the back of my mind.
Funny Lil Schitty.......taxing on sugary drinks is probably a good thing......and needed...!!!! No different than having laws that you must have insurance on a car or wear a seatbelt or a helmet as people like you are just stupid and need direction.....BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

but what you fail to admit pederast, is that if the DNC fucks bernie AGAIN, all his voters say "fuck this" and they stay home on election day.

Funny that the dumbest fuck in NY speaks for all of bernies voters.....based on his hope that it might mean trump wins another term.....whatta fucking idiot!!!! BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Keep playing with yourself its all you got!!!!!!!1
What a stupid cunt.
"A video shared by President Trump showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tearing apart the State of the Union address has amassed over 18 million views on social media despite her allies’ efforts to convince platforms to remove it."
Nicely done.
"President Donald Trump’s approval rating among black voters is on the rise according to polling, significantly up from 2017, on the heels of his presidential election win. During an appearance on Fox News, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) explained the reasons for it, which he said included initiatives led by the Trump administration that offered a direct benefit to the African American community.
“On Election Day 2016, he was around 8 or 9 percent. Right now, his approval rating on the last four polls that I have seen is over 30 percent, ‘ he said. “And there’s a very specific reason why that is the case. He has not only said what he was going to do. He actually has done it. Whether it’s permanent funding for HBCUs, historically black colleges and universities, or criminal justice reform, Opportunity Zones, heirs property, working on sickle cell anemia, this president has been delivering for three years.”
Seattle taxes their soda at an extreme level as well. We just wander a couple miles into Renton and buy it.

Wait until Biden goes bye bye. Then a significant part of the Democrat coalition will defect.
I agree. Biden's "dog face" meltdown will be missed.
He’s already lost half of the AA support

all his voters say "f*** this" and they stay home on election day.
Nope. Thanks to what they have learned from Trump, they won't do that again.
Job Creation Slowed Under Trump
Newly revised figures from Trump’s own Department of Labor
show that
6.6 million new jobs were created in the first 36 months of Trump’s tenure, compared with
8.1 million in the final 36 months of Obama’s ―
a decline of 19% under Trump...
😊So much fucking winning😊
"A majority of small business owners have a favorable view of President Trump’s job performance and the 2017 tax cuts he championed, according to a recent Gallup poll.
The Gallup poll reveals that 69 percent of respondents say they benefited from the 2017 tax cuts that Trump championed and signed into law."
I know my small business have benefited .
What is the Socialist Democrats plan?
We just wander a couple miles into Renton and buy it.
How overweight are you?
Bloomberg Heads to North Carolina as Early Voting Begins
“Building on GROWING MOMENTUM IN THE POLLS, billionaire presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg will visit Raleigh, Greensboro and Winston-Salem this week to make his pitch to Democratic voters,” the Raleigh News & Observer reports.
“The primary will be held March 3, but in-person early voting begins Thursday, the same day Bloomberg will be here.”
A Quinnipiac University poll suggests that Biden’s support is being cannibalized by former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg.
odd

Bloomberg ad compares Trump quotes to past presidents
Real clear politics
The U.S. Tax Code is incredibly complicated. But we have a simple question -- do you think the current U.S. Tax Code is fair?
Chances are your answer is no -- and Mike agrees. He will close loopholes, tax capital income more equitably, and make sure businesses pay their fair share. Mike believes we need to raise rates for high-income taxpayers, and his plan shows that he is serious about making that happen.
Mike is the candidate who can convince Congress that raising taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations must be done. He did it in New York City, and he will get it done again as president.
MIKE WILL GET IT DONE
METO MIKE or MINI MIKE ?
And has he got the Beto endorsement yet, wasn't he the first next dem hero ?
But the real fun will be when he appears on a debate stage.
ROFLMFAO !!!
"tax capital income more equitably"
James, exactly how will mini mike do that?
And the goat fucker again shows us all why he supports trump....too fucking stupid to think.....
Most amusing was Lil Schitty and the rat fuck advocating for the poor who they both think are leeches to society and a regressive tax would harm the poor.....DId either of the idiots check out the multi trillion dollar budget trump has proposed fucking these same people????? And not a word of protest but another burp of trumps manhood....!!!!!!

One reason I want Bloomberg for the Dem nominee: watching people who spent their whole lives screaming about the corrupting influence of money in politics shut their pie-holes and fall in line behind a billionaire who bought the nomination would be absolutely hilarious.
and trying to get in late before his many warts become apparent
ROFLMFAO !!!
A lot of rich people considered F.D. Roosevelt a traitor to their class* because despite his own immense wealth, he cared for the common people, the workers, the laborers, the often neglected.
*Even Joe Kennedy thought that, and had to be reined in by his sons.
