Rich Dad's Guide to Investing What the Rich Invest in, that the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert Kiyosaki
The rich are different from the rest of us, if for no other reason than
U.S. tax and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that keep us
from catching up to them.
That's why 90 percent of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10
percent of the people. Kiyosaki believes it's possible for anyone to
move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different view of
investing than most people have: it takes a plan to be a successful
investor. And a plan is more than simply buying and selling, or
collecting "assets" that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to
liabilities.
The way most people invest, "they might as well be pushing a
wheelbarrow in a circle," he writes. A plan is "mechanical, automatic,
and boring," a formula for success that has worked historically for
most of those who've used it. Kiyosaki's "rich dad" (actually, the
father of his best friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game
Monopoly: buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel, and
repeat until you become rich.
100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (And Al Franken Is #37)
The winner of eight Emmy Awards for his work as a news correspondent takes to task 100 people who he believes are muddying the integrity and morality of American society. While his voice is better suited for the newsroom, he makes his case with vocal agility and verbal cleverness. Goldberg takes pokes at celebrities like Michael Jackson and Michael Moore, politicians like Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean, activists, intellectuals, and television "Schlockmeisters." He also takes aim at former Louisiana State Rep and KKK leader David Duke, as well as Judge Roy Moore, who refused to remove the Ten Commandments from his Alabama courthouse. In all, this program is as thought provoking as it is rousing and entertaining.
