NEW YORK -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday accused the Wall Street demonstrators of trying to cripple New York City's economy.
"What they're trying to do is take the jobs away from people working in this city," the mayor declared in his harshest criticism of the three-week-old protest that has caught the attention of the nation.
"They're trying to take away the tax base we have because none of this is good for tourism."
Although he expressed sympathy for "some of their complaints," Bloomberg warned that addressing them has to be accomplished "without hurting people and making the problem worse."
"If the jobs they are trying to get rid of in this city -- the people that work in finance, which is a big part of our economy -- we're not going to have any money to pay our municipal employees or clean the blocks or anything else."

I've got to say--I like Bloomy's approach, in saying that the DSHes (Dirty, Smelly Hippies) are eating into tax revenues. The DSHes want higher taxes, so Bloomy is telling them that they're shooting themselves in the side of the head.

Bloomberg is an idiot.
It's NY idiotic tax rates that are driving away their economy.

Screw this, allot of senior citizens that were not ever part of any protest in the past are headed to NYC.
Bus loads of old folks, board to death with retirement, last chance to complain about something or other.
