New York billionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg won a third term on Tuesday. But critics say he's turned the city into his very own kingdom and he's lost touch with the people of the Big Apple.
The United States Attorney General should look into the legality of someone buying themserves into the office of mayor for one hundred million dollars. This is very UNAMERICAN and unprecedented in American elections. Isn't this election fraud going to be overturned? It is time for America to start putting some real taxes on these Billionaires and their foundations. Perhaps a ceiling of a million dollars should be implemented and when it is reached, start taxing them 100 per cent to bring them back down to that level. Why does any one human need billions of dollars when those around them are hungry and sleeping in the streets? Is this the American Way?
