This guy is a pompous capitalist d-bag that basically says people who aren't rich "stop using their brains" because they don't scheme up ways to make money and other stupid shit.

I saw a sign around town advertising a seminar given by the "Rich Dad" website on "learn[ing] to be rich." It really disgusted me as to how people like this parade around not only their wealth, but act as if their wealth means they're thinking in a "better way" or are overall "living smarter" compared to the average working class person.

Discuss.


EDIT: I just realized this is probably not in the right section. Mods can move it to the appropriate place.

If there's one thing I hate more than the rich, it's the people who are proud to be rich, in other words, most rich people. Needless to say, "Rich Dad" seems like an absolute bastard. I think that's all that needs to be said.

Sounds like a great place to lose a shoe
someone needs to hit eventually, why not hit this son of a *****. Fucking capitalist pig. Accuses everyone who is not wealthy of being lazy. In the words of the Chinese Maoists, this guy needs the shit "struggled" out of him.

The Rich Dad, Poor Dad guy is such an idiot. He just happened to get lucky and suddenly he thinks everyone can be in his circumstances and that sheer will can get you anything.

At one point, he also kept telling people to invest in the real estate market. However, my father pointed out that such a thing would flood the market and would eventually break the whole thing.

Oh, and he hangs out with Donald Trump. I mean, there you go right there.

[SocialismOrBarbarism]

Looking at his wiki page, it seems like he was pretty much a failure and didn't actually become rich and successful until after writing a book about becoming rich and successful.

I found this pretty lulzy:


ABC ran a 20/20 segment on May 19, 2006 in which Kiyosaki was to advise three entrepreneurs on how to make money. They were given $1000 and 20 days to try and make the most money possible. At the end, after mediocre results, the contestants alleged that Kiyosaki never gave concrete advice. "All he [Kiyosaki] does is, I guess, is open your mind to the possibility. He doesn't tell you how to do it."[citation needed] Kiyosaki responds by saying that failure is important to learn. At the end, 20/20 asks, "Does anyone really need 18 books to learn to fail?"

and him being an arrogant douchebag:


Kiyosaki wrote a column in Yahoo Finance in which he blames poverty on laziness. He also implies a religious justification for wealth disparity. "Over the years, I've met many losers who pray to God to give them gold. God helps those who help themselves. Again, the conquistadors may have been killers and thieves, but at least they knew how to help themselves."

[Andrei Kuznetsov]

"at least they knew how to help themselves."

That's fucking heinous.

[Kwisatz Haderach]

And yet, this pompous reactionary fuckwit is saying something very true, which we should be saying:

"The poor work hard for their money. The rich have their money work hard for them."

Or, in other words, the poor work hard and the rich don't. How amusing that some capitalists admit it. All we need to add in order to turn his message into a revolutionary one is:

"...and that is NOT how things should be."

[RotStern]

He sounds like a real asshole.
Seriously where the fuck does he get off saying these things?

Comrades, Allow me to make a GTA IV reference;

[Stranger Than Paradise]

Complete and utter bollocks. Fucking idiot.

[Axle]

Arrogant fuck.
This is fucking Horatio Alger "Rags to Riches" bullshit for the 21st century.
