We have all watched with weary eyes how Billionaire Mayor Mike Bloomberg has proven to the world that he is truly the Teflon Mayor. Seriously people, this guy makes John Gotti look like walking Velcro! The really sad thing is that political insiders and City Hall junkies understand and realize that he plays politics and uses special interests like no other to gain any advantage over his opponents.

Mayor Mike raises our taxes 18.5% and only James Oddo has the balls to use the trade mark F-Bomb and say NO.

During the term limits fiasco, Mayor Mike ignores public outcry, strong arms the city council and with one swoop of the pen disenfranchises New York voters and extends term limits so he can get re-elected.  The Independence Party should be ashamed for giving Bloomie the line. Maybe they haven’t read their own party platform for awhile or money causes amnesia!

Despite all the Mayor’s political shenanigans, the newspapers give tremendous praise and adulations like Bloomie was riding down Fifth Avenue on a donkey. The bought press wants us to believe that mayor Mike is the only one who can lead us through this economic downturn. But what they fail to report is that under fiscally brilliant Bloomberg the city's budget has increased from $42 Billion to $62 Mike Bloomberg, is addicted to creating government positions, craves giving pay increases to loyal minions and couldn't find a wasted dollar if it fell in his lap.  He is the King of government and social spending, and there's no end in sight...

Mayor Mike buys off his opponents on the City Council like we would buy hemorrhoid cream at our local CVS. Mayor Mike uses the City Budget as a quid pro quo, gives expense money, capital projects and if you are one of the lucky ones holding your vote on a contentious issue, you might get a chance to use his Townhouse for raising campaign cash!  The Manhattan DA should have enough to indict him for this but let’s not hold our breath.

According to City Hall insiders, Mayor Mike had his own Political Slush fund led formerly by Bill Cunningham and Haeda Milhaltsis, the mayor’s political minions. This slush Fund made Speaker Quinn’s Slush Fund look like a 9 year old child's piggy bank. Mayor Mike was an equal opportunity disburser. He gave funds to both Democrats and Republicans, hey just ask Simcha Felder, Domenic Rechhia, Marty Golden, Andrew Lanza... the list goes on.

Nobody blinks an eye when Mayor Mike agrees to deliver cash to the GOP in exchange for the party endorsement. Is that legal? Isn't that selling a Wilson-Pakula? If it were a judgeship for sale the media would standing on their heads trying to get the story out!

The Media is so scared of this Billionaire Bully they run and hide. They should be ashamed of themselves. Poor Walter Cronkite is turning over in his grave. I guess selling their journalistic soul for a few pieces of gold in advertising money has become routine.

As a blue collar worker who gets his hands dirty, I hate Billionaires who want to increase our taxes across the board and tell us we have to do more when growing government, mismanagement and budget deficits face our city.  Perhaps if we weren't taxed so much we could enjoy a vacation or have some spare cash to take a weekend trip with our families or maybe Bloomberg can offer New Yorkers a weekend at his townhouse as an apology for raising our taxes.
