More quotes by 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
I think [Winston] Churchill said it was [democracy] the worst of all systems except for all the others. And that's probably true. It's never gone easily.
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
Buy what's deliverable, not what could be.
Michael Bloomberg
America was built by immigrants. Almost nobody that I know is any more than three generations, maybe four generations, American.
Michael Bloomberg

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 have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom's annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have.
Michael Bloomberg
I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.
Michael Bloomberg

Michael Bloomberg
New York has been, and will continue to be, a magnet for people from all over the world. This is where the arts, business, research and technology converge to create the world's foremost urban economy.
Michael Bloomberg
In 1975, Congress passed a law requiring fuel efficiency standards to double over 10 years, with incremental targets that auto manufacturers were required to meet. That was the responsible approach, and it worked. But since 1985, we've done nothing - even as technology has moved at light speed.
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
I know how to make decisions and stand up to the criticism every day.
Michael Bloomberg
The Russian economy is way down because of the price of oil, and because the USSR was a big chunk of it.
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
Nobody's going to go home for a year and come back. Nobody could ever enforce that. Nobody in their right mind would ever try to do it.
Michael Bloomberg
People use so much more health care when they live longer.
Michael Bloomberg
Jeb Bush is very good on immigration, he's very good on education. He's a smart guy.
Michael Bloomberg
In New York City, a lot of people think the great outdoors is the area between your front door and a taxi cab.
