Bloomberg has fueled his campaign with millions from his own fortune

 Mr. Bloomberg’s wealth financed a huge array of campaign expenditures, many of them unusual or unheard-of for candidates of normal means, including millions of dollars in polling before Mr. Bloomberg even entered the race; $1.5 million for office space; about $700,000 for rental apartments for campaign staff; and nearly as much on travel by private jet.
Federal records show Mr. Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, spent $132 million on television advertising, far overshadowing the campaign spending of the other Democrats in the race. In total, the Bloomberg campaign had spent $188 million by the end of December.
In addition to that sum, the campaign disclosed it had nearly $33 million in additional invoices to be paid in the next filing period, meaning that it had committed resources worth more than $220 million within his first five weeks as a candidate.

Thought the Democrats opposed money in politics.

In a party defined in no small part by concerns about inequality and economic power concentrated in the hands of the wealthy, Mr. Bloomberg’s fortune — estimated at well above $50 billion — is also a source of discomfort to many Democrats, and his lavishly funded candidacy has drawn sharp criticism from populist liberals, like Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren.

But is there a reason Sanders and Warren are Whining Socialist ?

Bloomberg has fueled his campaign with millions from his own fortune

I don't understand this. How can you sit there as a Trump voter and attack Bloomberg for using his own wealth? You are NUTS. That's like Hitler standing on a pulpit in Berlin, raging with condemnation about mistreatment of Jews by the British. It's so far beyond double standards one must legitimately question whether you are alright in the head.

Mr. Bloomberg’s finances are largely opaque, and they are almost certainly the most complex of all the Democratic presidential candidates. He has not released any tax returns since entering the Democratic primary, and his campaign has postponed filing a personal financial disclosure form until late March, after many of the states he is contesting will already have voted.

You stupid douche i am quoting the Democrats.
