      Man, people just love dismissing any argument against something with the most inane bullshit…

        He helped the New York City first responders get benefits for 9/11 related diseases and injuries and how do you think pays for that?

        Taxpayer, that’s who.

          “[Taxpayers] pay for that!” is a very misleading way to phrase it. State, Federal, sales, etc… You do realize they’re going to collect taxes no matter what, yes? I’m not getting them back! And if money already on-hand isn’t used to help literal hero firefighters in the form of the benefits they were promised for saving lives in the wake of the biggest terrorist attack against the country, then what fuck should we spend it on!? Nothing?? It’s fine if you believe that, but it’s a totally different discussion…

        Why he would make a good president? I mean aside from “I like and agree with him”.
