What's the logic here?
Do you think Bloomberg works harder than his pawns? No chance. Maybe he did back in the day, but after a certain point he doesn't need to keep getting richer. He could sit on his arse in his underwear all day eating Doritos and his business would be no worse off, and he would continue to make more in a day than most do in years. Same for his family for generations to come. Assuming they are paying some advisor millions of dollars to handle their finances, nobody descending from Mike is going to have to work a day in their lives for the rest of American history as long as the current rules apply. Does that seem right?

Bloomberg took a huge personal risk to himself and his family by starting a business venture. This risk paid off in an unimaginable way, created jobs for thousands of people, and generated wealth for thousands of others.

frick yes it's right.

Why in the frick is it any of my business and how does this effect me at all?

If Bloomsburg took all his money and shut the business down, would it help or hurt me? Is some small part it would hurt me indirectly.

If we taxed all his money away, would it help or hurt me. It would be a very small ripple on the national debt, but it would hurt the economy more than it would pay national debt...so again a net negative.

Why the hell is it any of your business how he runs his company? How does it affect you? Even if you work there, don't like it....go find another company that values your labor and skills more.
