Michael BloombergI make no secret of the fact that I was not a big Hillary Clinton supporter, but I thought in the two-way race between her and Donald Trump, that she should have been the president. But Trump promised a lot of things. And now he's six months in and hasn't passed a piece of legislation yet. Now, I personally have said we should help him. I didn't vote for him. I didn't think he was the right person. But once we have an election and he gets elected, then we have a responsibility as citizens to help him.

Michael BloombergNow, you might say โ โBut why should we pay people for doing what theyโre supposed to do?โ Itโs a fair question โ but think of it this way: Every other anti-poverty program thatโs been tried has failed to get the national poverty rate below 11 percent... Why shouldnโt we experiment with a program built around the one strategy that has proven time and again to work wonders โ capitalism?
