Bloomberg, the Business Candidate

Ben Casselman of the Wall Street Journal reports that Mike is being urged to run by many business leaders due to the increasingly populist, anti-business rhetoric being employed by the major party candidates. There is nothing wrong with protecting Americans from the excesses of big business, as Mike has done as mayor, but does that mean that the solution to all our economic troubles is more anti-business regulation? What we have seen is the use of populist rhetoric for political purposes, when what we need is a candidate with integrity, proven management skills, and real experience who will work with business to bring solutions to our problems.

I can’t call myself a Republican anymore. I’m sick and tired of politics as usual. The economy, immigration, etc, etc, and making me very distrustful of the government. We need Bloomberg! — Randy Johnson
