are rich. When assetprices increase,it makesassets (things ofreal and lasting
value) more expensive, out of the reach of the poor and the middle class.
JUSt look at the price ofreal estate and ask anyone who has not yet bought
a house ifthey think it is easy to afford the house oftheir dreams today. It's
tough to buy a house with money that is only trickling down.

In Summary

Donald Trump and I came together because we feel this country is on

the wrong course and time is running out. Instead ofgetting better, things
are going from bad to worse - simply because we are not solving our
financial problems, we are only pushing them forward for the next
generation to handle.
In his book, The America T# Deserve, Donald Trump talks about what
he would do if he were president of the United States. After reading his
book, I found his ideas bold and imaginative. I think he would make an

excellent president and would campaign vigorously for him, if he should
ever decide to run.

Personally, I am lessoptimistic. My father ran for Lieutenant Governor
of the State of Hawaii and was defeated. That experience left me with less
faith in the political process. My plan is simply to be financially astute,
personally responsible for my life, and not to allow myself to become a
victim ofour government's mismanagement.
My father believed he could change the government. After his bitter
defeat, I decided it was best to change me. Instead ofattempting to change
the laws, such as trying to make the tax laws more fair, I simply decided to
become rich and use the tax laws to my benefit. Ifyou would rather join the
rich than fight them, then read on. This book is for you. Ifyou would rather
change the government, then this may not be the book for you.
Donald and I believe that the best way to change the rules is to first get
the gold. Ifyou have the gold, then you have more power. When you have
the power, you are better able to enforce the real Golden Rule, the rule that
states, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
