Provide some solid evidence of something specifically illegal or unethical that Bloomberg did to make his money.
Nothing wrong at ALL with being rich and making lots of money, anyone saying otherwise is a whiny loser. It's wrong to mistreat and exploit people regardless of if you have a billion in the bank, or ten bucks, and the amount you have in the bank is no proof, or indicator of sociopathy or dishonesty.
The day you do anywhere near for the world what Gates or Buffett have done is the day people who think there's no such thing as a 'self made billionaire' will have any credibility.
Go ahead, give a few billion to helping to end AIDS or world hunger.
I don't like Bloomie, not one whit, but I don't suffer from disconsolate envy, either.
Nothing wrong with making a few million, or billion, as long as you don't exploit anyone else.
