Michael Bloomberg
You can't depend on polls.
Michael Bloomberg
Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.
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
And I keep saying, whether you like the president or not, everybody has to pull together and help the president because, as the president goes, so goes the country, as the country goes, so goes your job, your ability to feed your family, your government.
Michael Bloomberg
We need to have more taxes, not less, and we need the taxes we have, certainly, to provide services - for defense and education and health care. We should not cut money here in order to cut taxes.
Michael Bloomberg
If a hurricane strikes, we can blame the president for not being there we can blame Congress and FEMA we can blame the state governments but in the end, it's the mayors and the local city governments that have to be prepared for emergencies and be prepared to act.
Michael Bloomberg

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 think we are not serious about attacking the long-term debt problem, and that's one of the things that he's going to have to find a way to get on the agenda.
Michael Bloomberg
You are safer here tonight than you would be on the streets of any other city in the world.
Michael Bloomberg
