Rich Dad Poor Dad, really? Oooof. I'd never call that grifter "powerful".
It's worth a high level summary. I agree there's some unconventional takes but a few are good.
Example: working class and middle class will vote to tax the rich. In reality the rich can pay to avoid the tax so the middle class ends up paying more.
That isn’t how taxes work. You don’t vote to raise taxes on the rich and accidentally raise taxes on the middle class. You can’t say not to raise taxes because rich might find loopholes. No one says we shouldn’t sentence people to prison because the most connected people might escape.
