How can he pledge $70 billion when he is only worth $59 billion? Oh, he wants it from us the taxpayers?
Democrats generous with your money.

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will announce on Sunday his presidential campaign’s plan aimed at bolstering economic opportunity for black Americans, promising to triple their income over the next decade
Well, he is now off my list of "possibles" (candidates I would consider voting for).
For almost 50 years, I supported Affirmative Action, and many, many blacks are now part of the middle and upper classes -- and good for them and everyone else!! For those blacks who are still poor, I blame it on their own decisions and/or on their parents, and not the government. (Yeah, I know -- this is a very unpopular opinion among many liberals.)
EQUALITY for all -- stop with the pandering due to skin color!

So Democrats once again are going to play identity politics and work to divide American citizens? I would have thought that they might have figured out that wasn't working, when they tried it for 8 years of the Obama administration, let alone all through the 2016 campaign.
Bloomberg is hoping that not only Blacks will vote for him, but also the Progressives riddled with WHITE GUILT that constantly talk about White Privilege. These Virtue Signalers will do and say anything in attempt to temporarily ease their pain. lol! Next he will talk about draconian policies to demonize fossil fuels. Watch.

True. Affirmative action had its place 50 years ago - for a generation. Or two, at most. Now it is time to switch the focus to affirmative action for academic "high achievers" who come from low-income backgrounds. Blacks who are from low-income families, assuming high academic achievement, would continue to benefit from the new focus.

No, racism has never had a legitimate place in govt.
And going to require banks to change their credit requirements for mortgages.... haven't we gone down that road before where people with no business buying houses are given loans they can't afford????
