More quotes by Michael Bloomberg
[Jeb Bush] could, as I describe it, run the railroad.[John] Kasich could run the railroad. Hillary Clinton can run the railroad. Running the railroad is the most important thing. You have got 4 million employees you've got to make the system work, and it doesn't work very well.
Michael Bloomberg
I do not think that anybody should get paid for lousy performance. I've said that for a long time. If you work hard and you do good, you get paid well.
Michael Bloomberg
I believe in Judaism, I was raised a Jew, I'm happy to be one - or proud to be one.
Michael Bloomberg
Nobody wants a job where they don't have authority to go along with the responsibility. Quite the contrary. The more authority you give people, the better people you can attract, and the harder they're going to work, and the more loyal they are going to be.
Michael Bloomberg
Like Israel, New York City's history has been defined by immigrants who come in search of freedom and the opportunity to build a better life. And like Israel, New York City has remained a target for terrorists who seek to destroy that freedom
Michael Bloomberg
I know that many Irish-born New Yorkers are caught in the trap of our federal immigration policies. If we are going to continue to attract the best and the brightest - and Ireland has more than its fair share - we need to inject some common sense into our immigration laws, and I'm doing my best to make that case in Washington.
Michael Bloomberg
After all, the same steps that reduce carbon pollution also clean the air we breathe, which saves lives and reduces disease.
Michael Bloomberg
I don't believe that government is good at picking technology, particularly technology that is changing. By the time you get it done and go through democracy, it's so outdated.
Michael Bloomberg
You're going to see a million people here who have the courage to come and not let terrorists win, and that's exactly what we should all do.
Michael Bloomberg
I think one of the great dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a terrorist. That's not true... That would let the terrorists win. That's what they want us to do.
Michael Bloomberg
Government is dysfunctional.
Michael Bloomberg
When you go to Washington now, you can feel a sense of fear in the air - the fear to do anything, or say anything, that might affect the polls, or give the other side an advantage, or offend a special interest.
Michael Bloomberg
Design does matter. And not necessarily in a way that people realize. A lot of what you do, people take for granted - that a park has always been here, that a bicycle lane has always been there, that the street is safe or clean.
Michael Bloomberg
What we shouldn't do is let people who want to come here make the decision themselves. America should be in control of its own borders.
Michael Bloomberg
What goes on in Europe concerns us greatly because, if Europe comes apart, the E.U. comes apart, then you're going to have enormous impact on America, that's a very big trading partner of ours, and people own securities around the world in this day and age.
Michael Bloomberg
And because no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself and your dream, New York will always be the place for you.
Michael Bloomberg
[Hillary Clinton] is going to decide war, peace, and health, education, livelihood for my kids. I want the best person.
Michael Bloomberg
Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can't control.
Michael Bloomberg
Don't think that I'm - I'd- I'm infallible. Will always make mistakes.
Michael Bloomberg
This society cannot go forward, the way we have been going forward, where the gap between the rich and the poor keeps growing. It's not politically viable it's not morally right it's just not going to happen.
Michael Bloomberg
