Obama – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com Current Affairs Tue, 15 Mar 2022 14:27:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://i0.wp.com/selfequanimity.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SE-Copy.png?fit=32%2C32 Obama – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com 32 32 176655959 Oh the Hypocrisy PART 2 http://selfequanimity.com/oh-the-hypocrisy-part-2/ http://selfequanimity.com/oh-the-hypocrisy-part-2/#respond Fri, 22 Jan 2021 05:59:42 +0000 http://selfequanimity.com/?p=1204 Let me start by saying Happy New year, 2021 is going to be an interesting year, 2020 was a year I witnessed how the mainstream media can control people into thinking whatever they want, and it was funny and sad at the same time. How our so-called celebrities are part of the puzzle. I keep on waiting to wake up from this dream!!. Oh the Hypocrisy…  let us start by saying since Day One in Trump’s presidency, he has done things that benefitted the black community,  Like “The first Step ACT,  like Pardoning of boxer Jack Johnson. 

Now Joe Biden has taken office, so Trump is out of the door,  his last days in office were quite interesting, to say the least, we all agree that he didn’t have to do what he did, which is pardon more black folks, he could have been very very petty and pardoned just white folks since he is accused of being a racist mostly by black people and white liberals.  He could have shown black people how racist he really was, personally, I wouldn’t do what Trump did, he has a big heart I must say. Usually, I wouldn’t care about these names on his list but I had to ask when I saw certain names on the list.

On the list of his pardons was a guy by the name Michael ‘Harry-O’ Harris. This man was the co-founder of DEATH ROW records where snoop made a name for himself, why is this man important? because snoop asked Trump to pardon this man, the story is that this man has been locked up since the 1980s, he would have been released in 2028. This means he was locked up during  Bush 1, Bill Clinton, Bush 2, and Obama. One begs the question why didn’t snoop Petition Obama to do this ?? Surely the first black president would have granted clemency to this man, wouldn’t he???  Racist Donald Trump wouldn’t do it would he ??? Actually, Biden was vice president for 8 years, he could have asked him….  We shouldn’t forget that snoop after being Trump’s friend, spent the last 4 years insulting Trump and telling us why he is a racist. Today he asks the racist to pardon one of his friends,( who happens to be black and locked up for breaking the law) and the racist president did just that … WOW!! I’m speechless!!!!! For those who say, oh that doesn’t matter he is still a racist,  well to them I say, he didn’t have to do it, actually, this was his chance to show people how racist he can really be, he could have said snoop, F— YOU!!!.but he didn’t. In my opinion,  I think snoop knows that Trump has been around hip hop since the early years, and he would be the one to pardon a man like this, why am I saying this ? well he didn’t ask Obama…  The Hypocrisy!

On his list of pardons was another interesting name, by the name of Desiree Perez.  For those who don’t know who Desiree Perez is, she is the CEO of Roc Nation,  YES Roc nation owned by Jay Z. She was arrested in 1994 on drug charges and that case has been over her head since. Again, this means she had this over her head since, Clinton, Bush 2 and of course Barack Obama,  let us not forget the fact that Jay Z campaigned for  Obama and hosted an event where 100 people attended the event, each person at this event paid $40,000.00. Jay Z raised $4million for Obama. Obama didn’t even grant a pardon for Jay Z’s employee as a thank you,  and he was in office for 8 years. Let us not also forget that Jay Z called Trump a “joke”. Let us say the “joke” of a president pardoned his CEO for free, if I was Trump I would find a way to charge for this, being that he raized $4million and couldn’t even get a free pardon. Jay Z didn’t even show up for the signing of the music modernization ACT, something that benefited the artists through streaming services. ( Tidal!!)

He did pardon Lil Wayne and Kodak Black but that is not surprising at least they supported him. A lot of people do not know but Trump while in the office took a salary of $1. Yes, ONE DOLLAR.

My dear friends the hypocrisy runs deep, and now there is silence everywhere because Trump who is supposed to be the racist did these things, he helped those who insulted him. WOW personal opinion again, I wouldn’t have done it.

THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH


Who is angry at Trump for paying fewer taxes than a school teacher ?? Don’t forget that anger is an emotion, so I should ask the question, who is emotional about the fact that Trump paid fewer taxes than a school teacher? I know I was when I heard about it. A lot of people were on the same page as I was. How dare the Billionaire pay fewer taxes than a school teacher, everyday hard-working Americans are suffering and the rich capitalist gets away with not paying taxes?? must be a republican, of course, Democrats are for the poor man, they would never do this, but WOULD they ???
Now I sat down to think Logically about all this, with a little mathematics on my side and of course the law I was able to break down certain things.
Does anyone Great Recession of 2008 and 2009, the very time that then-Senator Barack Obama took office After he and Senator John McCain have helped President George Bush give the big “Bail Outs ” to the banks? (which continued through the Obama presidency).
There was a law passed under the Obama government in the name of ” saving” the economy. The law ironically was called, “The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. This is a very interesting act because this is the very act that allowed Donald Trump to be able to pay low taxes, He was right that the law made provisions on that but it was handed to him by the very people that claim they have “our” best interest at heart. This ACT according to Politifact, Allowed net operating losses incurred by a business to be deducted from tax liability for up to 5 years. This is the very law Trump took advantage of that wiped out his Federal income taxes from 2005-2007. My emotions changed after doing some research on the rich.
The truth is the rich don’t have their money just sitting there as we regular people do. More often than not, all we have is as  regular people is our income, most of the time we are in a lot of debt, and our money is gone before it touches our hand, the rich, however, can afford to take very low salaries because they take  other forms of payment. Some very Wealthy CEO’s work for very little money, we wouldn’t want the salary they take but they are far richer than us. I was told by someone who helped me with my research that, if I’m confused about what I saw, then I don’t understand money, lets look at the salaries of some of the wealthiest CEOs.
Let us start with Bill Gates, with him I don’t know his salary but found out that he makes $22,881 per minute, that is a minute, not an hour not a year,

Larry Ellison (founder of Oracle)
Networth of $78.7 Billion
His Salary is $1

(I couldn’t believe it, how much income tax will he pay on $1)

 

Larry Page (Co-Founder of Google)
Networth $64.4 Billion
His Salary $1

Sergey Brin ( Co-Founder of Google)
Networth of $ 62.7 Billion
His Salary is $1

All this information made me look at rich people and business in a new way, One thing we must do is to get the emotion out of Politics and read between the lines, every one of these people who swear they are for the people take advantage of this system, and they will do anything to protect it, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. The system pays them so why do we believe one over the other. All of them are millionaires and billionaires.
We have to look at money very differently now and do more research on what wealth is, what money is, how the system works. We must stop believing in talking points that are push our emotional buttons.
