"Oh, yeah - sure", sneer the lemmings. "Jews 'created Communism', but they're also running every major business. You haters are so pathetic you don't even realize how ludicrous your inconsistencies are."
Then explain how a man with $5 billion in assets, all siphoned from media, can buy the office of Mayor and immediately impose Soviet-stule conditions on a populace still reeling from 9/11's economic disaster. Though you would expect a white-flight emptying the city of its tax base, the double whammy of 9/11 and Bloomberg has taken NY's still-significant white working class hostage....if they could go, they'd be gone. Who wouldn't flee a Commie hellhole where you're hit with a $105 ticket for sitting down?
And this article omits Bloomberg's latest bit of 'leadership'....$105 fines for standing in front of your home or workplace or a public street without a minimum of $10 in your pocket when asked to produce one for a cop! The truly frightening thing is that Bloomberg's brazen tax-em-to-death style is being carefully watched by a number of other big-city mayors with way too many useless blacks and mestizos draining Social Services, and a productive white base that can be sucked dry now, while they still have money and property to be taken.
Now don't forget to tune in to HITLER Part 2 tonight and boo the consenbsus Bad Guy and Tyrant.

[color=purple][SIZE=3][font=Times]It's sitting bull [/font][/color][/SIZE] Bronx man gets ticketed for resting on a milk crate
By BILL EGBERT and OWEN MORITZ DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
A lot of New Yorkers have outrageous stories about how the city is milking them dry with ridiculous fines - but Jesse Taveras has them all beat.
The 19-year-old Bronx man got a summons Sunday - for simply sitting on a milk crate on the Grand Concourse.
"I don't believe this," Taveras said he told the cop who handed him the ticket, citing him for "unauthorized use of a milk crate."
"'Don't blame me,'" Taveras said the cop told him. "'Blame Bloomberg.'"
The summons didn't say how much Taveras would have to pay for planting his bottom on the crate, which bore the imprint of Sunnydale Farms and a warning: "Use by anyone but registered owner is liable to prosecution, article 17A, General Business Law."
Deputy Chief Administrative Judge Joan Carey said a judge would decide the amount of the fine.
But Carey conceded she was stumped by the case of the sitting man. "I've never heard of this [violation] before," she said. "But I learned something new today."
She did note that an ages-old provision of the general business law deals with abandoned milk cans. It involves a $50 fine.
And a 1988 law calls for fines of up to $100 for stealing milk crates - but doesn't address the legality of sitting on them.
The summons from hell came days after the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association charged that beat cops are under pressure to write tickets and meet illegal quotas to help pump money into city coffers. City officials strongly deny those charges.
'Because you're sitting'
Taveras' descent into a bureaucratic Twilight Zone came about 6:30 p.m. Sunday, as he sat on the crate in front the Grand Concourse hair-braiding salon where he works.
He said he was asked for identification, which he showed the officer. The cop then called the 46th Precinct to see whether there was a warrant out for Taveras' arrest.
"I wondered if maybe I littered," he said.
There was no record and no warrant, he said. But he was then hit with the summons and immediately asked why.
"'Because you're sitting,'" Taveras said the cop explained. "'We have to make our daily quota.'"
The cop, whose last name was Payan, could not be reached for comment.
Taveras said the cop's partner told him not to worry. "It's not a big deal," she said. "The judge will throw it out anyway."
According to a Bronx police source, cops are enforcing a quality-of-life campaign called Operation Impact. "There have been complaints of people hanging out, sitting on milk crates, drinking beer, playing cards," the source said.
The summons could cost Taveras more than a few dollars or a lost day of work in court.
His court date is June 25 - when he expects to be in the Dominican Republic visiting his sick mother. He said he has paid $700 for plane tickets. "Regardless of what the fine is," he said, "if I have to cancel my trip, this ticket is going to cost me $700."
Although Taveras' friends and family were outraged by the ticket, Jogi Singh, 52, the manager of a Sunnydale Farms Food Store in Westchester County, had little sympathy.
"I'm going crazy," he said. "We lose 200 to 300 crates a year."
Meanwhile, the evidence remains at the scene of the crime.
"The crate's in front of the salon, where it has always been," said owner Michele Adams.

Who does Bloomberg think he is, the governor of California? We have all the same going on out here statewide. It isn't even all due to illegals. While the population went up about 5% or so, including illegals, governor Gay Davis raised the state budget over 35% in the same period. For what? Worst of all is auto registration, which triples in July! The Golden Rape, I mean Golden State already had the highest fees in the nation, so let's keep piling it on. The state's sales tax is going up, more and more taxes on businesses. Let's not forget close to 3,000 new state employees. I'll bet a month's pay that they se' habla'.
Traffic tickets are big bucks in L.A. They used average $50.00 into the early 90's. Now they're almost $300.00 on average. Roll through a stop sign? That'll be $270.00. Speeding? $160.00 minimum, plus the $30.00 processing fee. Oh. A u-turn where you shouldn't be making one? $320.00 please. You were a little late on that red light. We'll let you off for $300.00. Man, you shouldn't have driven in the carpool lane with no passengers. $271.00 minimum, if you're lucky. Friends of mine who are cops hate the pressure being put on them to make sure they get their share of tickets in. Of course, official policy is that there are no quotas. But in reality, you aren't trying very hard in management's eyes if you don't reach a certain monthly tally.
