Mayor Bloomberg thinks telecommuting is dumb

Thanks to NBC New York, we learn that Mayor Bloomberg thinks telecommuting is dumb.  Wow.  Let me make sure I understand the big picture here.

• Bloomberg taxes vehicles coming into the city, to reduce traffic, emissions, noise, and a lot of other things that are bad for people and nature.
• Bloomberg wants everyone who works for every New York company to come to the office.

No, that can't be right.  Maybe it's like this:

•  Bloomberg taxes vehicles coming into the city, to increase taxes. He does this under the auspice of reducing traffic, emissions, noise, and a lot of other things that are bad for people and nature.

• Bloomberg wants everyone who works for every New York company to come to the office, to maximize the taxes that are paid.

That actually makes sense. For a Democrat. How could this guy ever have been a Republican? I'm all for a big tent, but the Republican Party really needs a way to eject guys like him who are just nowhere near our part of the circus.
