Page 9 - Why We Want You To Be Rich - Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki.pdf

INTRODUCTION I 3

Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are both concerned. Their
concern is that the rich are getting richer but America is getting
poorer. Like the polar ice caps, the middle class is disappearing.
America is becoming a two-class society. Soon you will be either
rich or poor. Donald and Robert want you to be rich.
This phenomenon - the shrinking middle class - is a global
problem, but predominantly in the richer G-8 nations (in countries
such as England, France, Germany, Japan, etc.)
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said, "As I
have often said, this is not the type of thing which a democratic
society - a capitalist democratic society - can really accept
without addressing." He went on to explain how the income gap
between the rich and the rest of the u.s. population has become
so wide, and is growing so fast, that it might eventually threaten
the stability of democratic capitalism itself.

The Problem Is Education

What did the Federal Reserve Chairman state as the main
cause of the problem? In one word, his answer was education.
Mr. Greenspan points out that u.S. children test above the world
average levels at the 4th grade level. But by the 12th grade level,
they are far behind. He says, "We have to do something to prevent
that from happening."
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki also place the blame on
the lack of education. But they focus on a different type of
education, financial education. Both men are very concerned
about the lack of quality financial education in America, at all
levels. Both men blame the lack of financial education for the
United States having gone from the richest country in the world to
the biggest debtor nation in history, so quickly. A weak u.s.
economy and a weak u.s. dollar (the reserve currency of the
world) are not good for world stability. As is often said in other
parts of the world, "When the United States sneezes, the world
catches cold."
