Oh, I forgot to tell you. I'm authorized to say we have just a few more questions.

All right. Shoot.

Do you strongly approve, somewhat approve, somewhat disapprove, or strongly disapprove?

Sir?

The Mayor wants to destroy the middle class. That's what rich people do. It makes them feel good. Who's paying for this poll, anyway?

Mayor Mike Bloomberg wants to avoid raising taxes...

...somewhat disapprove...

I'm not answering your question until you answer my question.
