And that leads to paralysis.

The estate taxes, on balance, are good. They get people to give money to charity, and they prevent these family dynasties which keep other people from having opportunities. It may be good for a family, but for society it's probably not good. And I've always been in favor of having an estate tax.

Basically, the UBR is a relic of an earlier vision for UDDI. The original vision for UDDI was as a standard that would help companies conduct business with each other in an automated fashion. The idea was that companies could publish how they wanted to interact, and other companies could find that information and use it to establish a relationship.

We have an expression in New York City government - In God we trust, but for everyone else, bring data. It's so easy to pick up a sound byte and say, Oh, yeah, yeah, I believe that, without really thinking.
Michael Bloomberg
Working collectively and collaboratively is the difference between mediocrity by yourself or success as a team. You have to share the pain and the responsibility and if you do then you will also share in the rewards.
Michael Bloomberg
If people are not smoking, they'll probably be drinking more.
Michael Bloomberg
The main claim to fame, I think, of Bernie Sanders - who I've never met I'm sure he's a pleasant guy - [is that] he's certainly not stupid.
Michael Bloomberg
You can bet - a good chance of Hillary [Clinton], a good chance of [Donald] Trump - but not 100% in either case.
Michael Bloomberg
The press really is not doing its job of holding their [the candidates'] feet to the fire. ... The tough questions are not what are you in favor of, but how are you going to get it through Congress?
Michael Bloomberg
I am heading straight in. I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.

Yes, they broke the law, but we can't deport them. Let's get over this pointing fingers and do something about that, whether it - they have to pay a fine, learn to speak English, the history, you can do that. And then you have to give visas for the skills we need.
Michael Bloomberg
In business, when you fail at something, when something doesn't work, you say okay, we've learned that that's not a path to go down.
Michael Bloomberg
We all must recognize that homeland security funds should be allocated by threat and no other reason.
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
Being an entrepreneur isn't really about starting a business. It's a way of looking at the world: seeing opportunity where others see obstacles, taking risks when others take refuge.
Michael Bloomberg
