Charitable Dictator

I was leafing through the Forbes magazine the other day and couldn’t help indulge in the top twenty richest folk in America. Always fun to see who’s up down and out. It was interesting to note that our mild mannered business savvy Mayor Michael Bloomberg had shot up the charts to number eight with twenty billion. Twenty Billion...!! Oy Vey that’s loada bagels.

With this wad of money Mike can get up to a lot of mischief. Currently he is pushing for a third term as Mayor and in doing so testing the limits of the good people of New York.

Does he want the same vice grip of Putin and Chavez?
Does he believe he’s the only man in a business suit that can save New York?

It is not surprising that a list of well heeled business and political operatives are lining up to support his proposal. This gives raise to an uneasy feeling of megalomania and business as usual.

With the sky falling and the country in the grasp of a suspect bailout a magnificent noble gesture is required. What I suggest is, give Mr. Bloomberg another four years under the condition that he has to give all his money (yes all twenty billion of it) to the state of New York.

The projected deficit of New York next year is five billion and on that gloomy schedule in four years that would add up to twenty billion. But that will not happen because Mike has declared he’s the right man for the job, therefore by ending his tenure with a surplus.

Just think this act of self sacrifice would make fine examples of the criminal CEO’s that siphoned off company money with no intention of paying back investors and workers.
Does Bear Stearns former CEO Jimmy Cayne have any desire to pay back money his company lost?
Does Lehman Bros CEO Richard Fuld?
Does Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo?
Does AIG Maurice Hank Greenberg?

No of course not.

Restore confidence to the city… that’s what great leaders do.
You wanna be a great leader don’t yer Mike?

So what does Mayor Bloomberg get in return?

The Keys to the city:

These are very special keys that unburden one from the concept of earning, eating, saving and stressing about affordable healthcare. Hmm..and free sex.

Absolute freedom within the law no questions asked.

These keys allow the Mayor access and purchase ad nuseum.

If the Mayor walks down the street and fancies a slice of Ben and Franks pizza it’s free.
If the Mayor takes a cab to the salon for a shampoo and set to look presentable for dinner at the Four Seasons it’s free.
If the Mayor wants to see the Mets play the Yankees in the sky box drinking Martini's from Swarovski crystal it’s free.
If the Mayor dances moonwalk style into a club and snort whipped cream of a pair of Hooters tits it’s free.
You get the picture.
Besides how does a person in their mid sixties between now and their death spend twenty billion dollars?
Unload the anxiety; show the other Wall Street Fat Cats that the mentality of Greed on Speed is not the way to live.
