What Did Bloomberg Do About the Draft?
When a person proclaims a desire for public service, as Bloomberg often does, it becomes more interesting to know what that person did in the presence of a draft and a big war. The year Bloomberg graduated from college, the Tonkin Gulf resolution was a big issue and there was a very active draft of young men. Vietnam was ISSUE ONE during the time Bloomberg was a young man. What did Bloomberg do about the draft? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.149.170 (talk) 05:01, 25 August 2010, Wednesday (6 years, 8 months, 1 day ago) (UTC+1)
Student deferment I imagine. Quit impunging someone who could buy and sell you 100,000 times and have hundreds of millions left over. How many millions, let alone billions, have YOU made?98.10.165.90 (talk) 23:14, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Bloomberg financial contributions to GOP
- An editor has removed documentation of Bloomberg's contributions to GOP congressional candidates. It is violation of NPOV ethos to remove documentation of these contributions. It is most pertinent to include this documentation in this biography. There is a widely held assumption among New Yorkers that "Bloomberg is not a real Republican", or "He is a closet Democrat." In actuality, Bloomberg has given substantial donations to Republicans. These donations have a significant impact on races and elections. Hence, it is relevant to include this material.
Lastly, in contrast with much of what is in this article, there is firm documentation (two NY Times articles, authors, dates) of the claims that Bloomberg funds Republicans. One can go to vote_smart.org to see that these candidates are conservative across the board: on social, economic issues. --Dogru144, 5 July 2006, 20:22.
Administrator need for intervention in recurrent POV vandalism of financial contributions to GOP
Administrators, please intervene regarding the repeated vandalism of sections regarding his support for Republican candidates. Such vandalism is intrusion of POV. Entry regarding donation patter is fully documented. Dogru144 04:15 29 July 2006 (UTC)
full-time philanthropist
Bloomberg, in this article, is referred to twice as a "full-time philanthropist". That's not really a thing. It needs referencing or changing and referencing. Rcsprinter123 (interview) 16:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Suggestion for past elections
Since the article is quiet huge, move meat to new article Michael Bloomberg past elections, keep trimmed integral parts in one section.

Paternal grandfather's birthplace
Why it is written that his paternal grandfather was from Russia if this statement is referring to an article in Britannica where it is written: "Bloomberg’s father, a Polish immigrant" ?
