Bottom line.. part of the role of a President, is to promote and instill motivation and hope in people. Not all, but some who need it. The same people you despise who will never contribute to society wont change no matter who is Pres. But there are many, who will change, and can be swayed by the right leader. You "Don.." may have parents for that. Many do not. All in all, the right leader, the right speaker, can change the country much more then by putting $300 in the pockets of certain individuals.
