only problem is that most modern socieites reward you for helping bad people or actively help bad people ( THATS why we have so many shitty politicians in so many high places) and punishes you for ALL the hurt thst you conduct against people , whether they be gopd or bad.

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.'" -- George Carlin

Exactly, trump is the president we deserve, he embodies all our traits as a nation. He could be tried and hanged tomorrow and it won't change the fact that most of his opponents are only against him because he's not bribing them too.
