Make special note of Bloomberg’s use of “we” and “you.” “We” is he and the other elites, unencumbered by such infringements since they are the ones that make the rules, not the ones that live by them.
There’s a deep philosophical problem in America and Mike Bloomberg embodies it. So many people will look at this quote and say “Well it’s true! There are times! You murder someone, you go to jail right? That’s taking your freedom!”
Watch for those arguments because they are coming and they miss the point entirely.
When a guy like Bloomberg says “we should infringe on your freedom,” he’s not talking about due process or constitutional limitations. He’s talking exactly about what we fought against in the American Revolution. He’s talking about tyranny. The ability for elites to make decisions for the rest of us that takes our freedom away solely because the wealthy few living in their ivory towers deemed it necessary for the “greater good.”
