Bloomberg weeps for Big Pharma CEO's

If you've been reading this blog like cool people do, you don't need to be told that right-wing New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is an out-of-touch elitist.

And now the billionaire mayor has done proven it yet again - this time by whining that CEO's of major drug corporations just don't make enough money, dammit!

Bloomberg complained that these rich execs shouldn't be criticized for the soaring costs of health care. "You know, last time I checked, pharmaceutical companies don't make a lot of money, their executives don't make a lot of money," Bloomberg said on his radio show.

Drug companies are among the most filthily rich corporations in the land. And their CEO's make millions a year apiece. One made over $25,000,000 just last year.

Gee. There's some kind of inconsistency here between the facts and the mayor's comment that I just can't quite put my finger on. Hey, I think I figured it out: Bloomberg is full of shit. That must be what it is.

Bloomberg also channels Leona Helmsley. Recently, the embattled mayor declared, "We love the rich people," while arguing against taxing the wealthy.

While Bloomberg thinks Big Pharma CEO's are underpaid, he thinks average workers are overpaid. Remember a few years back when he tried to bust the city workers' union?

All this from a mayor who got his cronies to illegally repeal the term limits law that the voters had passed, just so he could seek another term.

If stupidity is highly valued by the nation's elites, I wish I owned the copyright on Bloomberg's brain cells.
