Plenty of times I’ve heard … ‘those people on welfare are taking advantage of the system’.
They shouldn’t be on it. I’m paying for it with the taxes I pay.
Some have applauded Trump’s taking advantage, for his personal benefit, of the current tax code.
That’s what makes him smart.
That’s what makes him a genius!
That’s what makes him a great businessman.
Yet, remember, we also paid for his gaming the system with the taxes we pay.
Hence, no complaining about the welfare use if Trump’s ‘gaming of the system’ is OK with some.
These two options ARE NOT inclusive.
It’s comparing ‘apples to oranges’.
The idiom, comparing apples and oranges, refers to the apparent differences between items which are popularly thought to be incomparable or incommensurable, such as apples and oranges.
Gaming the system (also referred to as gaming the rules, bending the rules, abusing the system, cheating the system, milking the system, playing the system, or working the system) can be defined as using the rules and procedures meant to protect a system in order, instead, to manipulate the system for a desired outcome …

Richard Williams, better known by his stage name Prince Ea, is an American rapper and activist, known for discussing topics like politics, sociality, environmentalism and life issues.
“Make ‘SMART’ Cool” Movement
In 2009, Prince Ea, who was upset at the present state of the music industry, decided to form a movement named “Make ‘SMART’ Cool“. The “Make ‘SMART’ Cool” movement (SMART is an acronym for “Sophisticating Minds And Revolutionizing Thought“) attempts to “promote intelligence to everyone, everywhere and integrate it with hip-hop.
To create and nurture, without discrimination or preference, a community of free-thinking individuals under the singular purpose of promoting the ideals of education, intelligence, unity and creativity throughout the world at large.”
I’m a lean dog, a keen dog, a wild dog, and lone;
I’m a rough dog, a tough dog, hunting on my own;
I’m a bad dog, a mad dog, teasing silly sheep;
I love to sit and bay the moon to keep fat souls from sleep.
“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”’
During the Bush years, it wasn’t surprising that there were at least a few songs out by various artists that picked on his leadership skills – like “Dear Mr. President” by P!nk. Now, it seems that Obama has joined that esteemed company – being a president that is called on the carpet by musicians.
Prince EA has been making a name for himself on the internet, with a series of highly popular videos with social and political statements. He’s been so popular that many of his messages have been resonating with people from both sides of the aisle. His latest offering is no different. Simply put, this is his “P!nk” moment.

My name is Richard Williams
I am 23 years old
I’m a citizen of the United States of America
And this message is for our president
Mr. President, Mr. President, I got a few questions if
You let me ask them, this situation is delicate
So please answer without, checking with your delegates
Or pandering an election rhetoric, yesterday I turned my TV on
And saw you and Romney in this long race
Every political pundit wondering, what is our faith
See y’all both make a strong case
But sometimes I think this country, might be going the wrong way
Do we got AllState if we crash
No we in your hands Mr. President, this is your task
Cause we the people selected you
Did you forget about the decent people that elected you
I read your book on Page 63 you quoted King
But did you know the last speech he wrote before he died wasn’t about a dream
It was about poverty, greed, and great despair
And he named the sermon,
“Why America May Go To Hell“
We going to bail our corporations with no avail
While, working class Americans struggle, no body cares
Mr. President I beg your pardon
But I don’t wanna hear that circular motion, we ain’t in that oval office
We can’t talk economy until we talk greed
Until we talk poverty, and then we talk needs
Until we talk love, and then we grab each others hand and we all hug
It’s all of us together, no Democrats or Republicans those are just names
To distract us from that fact that we’re human beings
We want this country restored
Left or right wing, which ever you lean towards we need reform
We need more than the Supreme Court
More then a corrupt police force that abuses people without remorse
So many lost overseas we can’t keep scores
It’s like peace has become, just intervals between wars
See these are reasons why we fight for a cause
Fight for the country with the, stripes and the stars
Not for the legislators that, write up the laws
This is for the everyday American, why I’m writing this song to you
Have you ever had to fight for a cause
Fight for something you knew was right, but was wrong
Last night my daughter cried in my arms
Cause she knew her Daddy was trying to find a job, but it’s hard
And on top of that, my best friend got life for a charge
Which is ironic Mr. Obama
I said my best friend just got life for a charge
Which is ironic, because we both might die with these bars
[BOOM: Gun]
Prince Ea talks about a huge topic here; The Future of the American People.
This song is almost in a letter sort of form, speaking to the president.
He wants change, and if no change is made, “We both might die in these bars”.
