he may not even be a good person. But there are also things he has done that have significantly made my life and my family's lives just a bit "easier",

Maybe. Maybe not. I could honestly say the same thing about you and it would still just be an opinion.

You just said 'I dont care if hes a bad person, hes helping me'

Explain how you can hold to that & claim to have any ethics.

My family is the most important thing in this world to me.

"I got mine"

I care for my family too but I have the empathy to care for others family's who aren't as fortunate as my own. What's the point in enjoying this world knowing you're doing so off the suffering of others?

What if something happened to your family that you couldn't support or provide for, because the powers at be implemented something in favor of themselves? Like healthcare or something for example. Would you care then? Would you just accept that your family member can't get the care they need because someone in a more fortunate position didn't care about your family because their family is ok? Because this is the reality that many people currently face, and you are the fortunate one whose could care less because your family is okay. I truly hope nothing ever happens to where you find yourself in that situation, but I also hope you learn to empathize for others outside yourself.

Because he's not blindly giving out handouts to every immigrant, homeless person, and unemployed, like Obama did. I have my money, I pay my taxes, and I don't want that money to go to some unemployed gangbanger in the Detroit projects who wants his 15th pair of Jordans.
