So just days after Elizabeth Warren published her wealth tax calculator

that showed Bloomberg would pay over 3.5 billion dollars he decides he is a democrat and will spend $100 million on his campaign? Well that's like 3% of what he stands to lose under any wealth plan tax so it looks like a great investment to me-If you have 12 or so people and only two-even if popular, are talking a wealth tax than a 3% guess that depends on knocking down a 6th of the field looks like a good bet to me and especially when so many oppose the tax. But it sounds more to me like opportunism rather than patriotism.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

spent. Jumping into the campaign at this point is nothing but vanity on his part.
