opinion wjmcgurn Doesn’t Bloomberg understand that taxing the poor will increase their depression & increase their alcohol & drug abuse. Get real Mr. Billionaire.
opinion wjmcgurn You’ve answered well your own question.

opinion wjmcgurn Complaints about Citizens United are valid: corporations are/should NOT be people! And the U.S. cannot become a BananaRepublic because only billionaires (from any political camp) are the only people who can win national elections. If you don't understand, see Election2016
