Manhattan: Mike Bloomberg was attacked in the Nevada debate for being a billionaire. The fact is, he started a new business category from scratch, a business which provides thousands of well-paying jobs without harming small businesses the way Amazon, Walmart and big-box stores have. How does Bloomberg having billions harm anyone? Would I be better off if he were middle class? I don’t get the anger, but I sure do understand envy. Paul Weissman

Point Pleasant Beach, N.J: Mike Bloomberg was attacked in the Nevada debate for being a billionaire. The fact is, he started a new business category from scratch, a business which provides thousands of well-paying jobs without harming small businesses the way Amazon, Walmart and big-box stores have. How does Bloomberg having billions harm anyone? Would I be better off if he were middle class? I don’t get the anger, but I sure do understand envy.

Middle Village: The Democratic debate was a total joke, like school kids: he said, she said. Come on, the real issues are preventing a war, trade deals, defense. Seriously, who really cares about who said what, who did what? How will you protect America and keep us strong? Barbara Murray

Low T

Manhattan: Dear Tom Steyer: All is forgiven! Please come back! We’re sorry we mocked you as a total loser. Now that Bloomturd is in the debates, we miss you! Mini Mike is you, minus the charisma, wit, and good looks! The most bumbling fool in the history of politics. Jeb Bush has more energy than the hollow former mayor of New York City. Keach Adams

Word twister

Brooklyn: To Voicers Thurston Onei and Tom Ascher: Since you’re both into word games, perhaps you remember the story of Rumpelstiltskin, which contains letters that spell “Trump.” It was about lies and greed. That’s why we call him, “Trumplethinskin.”

Alana Wilson

En fin

Brooklyn: Back at ya, Voicer Tom Ascher. You can’t spell “President Donald J. Trump” without “j-a-i-l.” Also, you can’t have free speech without Tom Ascher and Paul Gerics. Paul Gerics

All Hail!

Cincinnati: Around our kitchen table, she is known as Queen Elizabeth of Bay State, aka Running Mouth in her native tongue. Her ubersincerity

when mouthing off on every conceivable problem that plagues this pretty damn good country is uber-exhausting. However, while I feel that Sen. Warren is futilely grasping at a will-o’-the-wisp vision, I admire her stern demeanor and strongly believe that America requires a dominant woman who will whip our taxes into shape and apply appropriate punishment whenever our animal spirits transgress the mean. She embodies some of the harsh medicine we need, the castor oil that we must swallow if ever we are to make our country great again.

Off the hook

Clearwater, Fla.: Re “Fall of Stone” (Feb. 20): I seriously doubt that it matters how long Roger Stone’s sentence is. President Trump may go ahead and give him a pardon.

Over it

Manhattan: Roger Stone gets 40 months; Andrew McCabe gets a free pass. Despite the overwhelming evidence against them, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jim Comey, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi and others are not where they belong — in prison. Law-abiding people are getting fed up with how justice is dispensed. I come from a time when people obeyed the law or paid the consequence for their actions. The anti-American cabals who have taken control of local, state and federal government should be rounded up and jailed. Patriots like myself are tired of being pushed around. There just might come a day when there is hell to pay. Frank Giffone

Let down

Staten Island: So Rick Porcello feels fundamentally “unphased” on the brink of his Mets debut? And people in the newspaper business don’t understand its downfall and ultimate demise? Maybe I expect too much.

Tom McGuire

Get on board, Stan

Staten Island: So, Stanley Fritz of Citizen Action of New York devoted six whole months of his life to get the votes so they could have a majority for the disaster of this bail reform policy (“Dems take heat for bail reform changes,” Feb. 14.). He says, “And now a couple of white dudes with buzz cuts and MAGA flags (criticize the reforms) and you want to backtrack?” I suppose he considers Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo as the white dudes with the MAGA flags doing the criticizing. Even those two agree that it does not and will not work in the current state. Evidently he should have spent some more time working on the reform policy instead of pandering to the criminals this current reform policy has aided.

Gangi style

Stuart, Fla.: Police Reform Organizing Project’s Director Robert Gangi claims the NYPD is still biased! Another article full of biased statistics (“Watchdog: ‘City Cops Still biased,’ ” Feb. 21). Nowhere in the article did it say that those arrested by the NYPD were not guilty of the offenses charged. I’ve never heard of a police department neglecting to enforce the law because people of a certain color or ethnic background were being targeted and arrested. Here is a novel concept: Don’t break the law!

Billy Rath

Stop the hate

New Rochelle, N.Y.: Thank you, Voicer John Ciccione. People should stop addressing other cultures with inappropriate names. We are all human and it does not matter who you are and where you are from. There are too many racists in the world. People may be good or bad people, but it’s not because of race or religion. Please, let’s unite

GETTY and take ourselves for who we are. It will make it a better world for all of us.

Maria Schwaiger

Apples and oranges

Manhattan: In response to Voicer John Ciccione: Please tell me the policies and laws Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton implemented that destroyed the lives of any people. Not only have white people said things that were worse, they’ve supported oppressive and racist laws that negatively affected black people for centuries. There is no comparison of statements Al or Jesse made to the laws Bloomberg implemented and the lives he destroyed.

Florence, S.C.: Please use photos of Malcolm X that were taken after November 1963 (“Caribbeat: Schomburg’s ‘Malcolm X Remembered’ Black History Month exhibition offers a rare look at the late black leader,” Feb. 16). Malcolm began growing facial hair after he left the Nation so photos of him with a beard were taken during the last 14 months of his life. It is a disservice to Malcolm to use earlier photos as his evolution during the last year of his life is central to his legacy. Jacqueline Jones
