Yes, Bloomberg, a rich person who actually does care about the little guy; a man who gave significant amounts of his money to help the less fortunate of New York: a man for whom "help the working class" wasn't a meaningless campaign slogan.

It's interesting that there are about 80 billionaires in New York and yet most people could likely only name two - Bloomberg because of his generosity and Trump because of his greed.
