It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach.
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
If Warren Buffett made his money from ordinary income rather than capital gains, his tax rate would be a lot higher than his secretary's. In fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes.
Michael Bloomberg
You are safer here tonight than you would be on the streets of any other city in the world.
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
In New York City, a lot of people think the great outdoors is the area between your front door and a taxi cab.
Michael Bloomberg
Organizing around a common interest is a fundamental part of democracy. We should no more try to take away the right of individuals to collectively bargain than we should try to take away the right to a secret ballot.
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
Last I looked - and I'm not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It's most states are winners take all.
Michael Bloomberg
Is your company so small you have to do everything for yourself? Wait until you're so big that you can't. That's worse.
Michael Bloomberg
You've got to give people a fair chance of saying what they believe, and then you've got to decide, Do you believe 'em?
Michael Bloomberg
The truth of the matter is: you can create a great legacy, and inspire others, by giving it to philanthropic organizations.
Michael Bloomberg
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
Government is dysfunctional.
