Bloomberg: Taxing The Poor Is A “Good Thing” Because They’ll Have Less Money To Hurt Themselves

A resurfaced interview from 2018 is coming back to bite Michael Bloomberg in the ass, just as he’s officially entered the presidential race.

A clip from Bloomberg’s interview with the International Monetary Fund one year ago has shown him to be everything leftists claim they hate and wanna fight against – a rich, white, controlling elitist (but, let’s see if they can even pick up on this.)

During the interview, Bloomberg made a case for “regressive taxes” on the poor, arguing that they’re a “good thing… because the problem is in people that don’t have a lot of money. And so, higher taxes should have a bigger impact on their behavior and how they deal with themselves.”

Essentially, he’s saying that poor people lack control over their own selves and need to be taxed so that things that aren’t so healthy for them (like candy and soda) are farther out of reach.

In Bloomberg’s own words,

“If you raise taxes on full sugary drinks, for example, they will drink less, and there’s just no question that full sugar drinks are one of the major contributors to obesity, and obesity is one of the major contributors to heart disease and cancer and a variety of other things.”
