Firstly, I want you to read Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".


WAIT! I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking "Its another evil capitalistic adolf hitler nazi american hate book".

Or maybe you're saying "Its just some wacko called Kiyosaki who is making money off his scam."

Or even "How will a book change my life?".



Thats EXACTLY why you're a "wage slave!". Your mind is rigid, and unable to understand new concepts. You think in terms of "evil oppressive Adolf Hitler capitalist nazi boss vs. the good kindly hardworking slave worker".

But theres more to it. The world is not black or white, as Adolf Hitler had you and the jews believing.

Before you make a single criticism of capitalism or that book, read it. Find it in your library, borrow it from school, buy it on ebay for $4, or steal it. Get the book, read, then try out some of his concepts.

And if you fail? Try again. I've bankrupted 4 businesses since 2001. Sometimes, people quit at the 9th failure, when the 10th would have been success.


When you finish the book, you will say "But I don't have any money!".

Well, work at McDonalds. Thats what I did. Its only a few bucks an hour, but work there 14 hours a day.

Then after work, walk the streets, and look for ways to make money. A house without a peephole! Quick, learn how to drill peepholes and offer to drill one in for the owner for $50. Thats $50 in 20 minutes. A small business? Offer to deliver ads for them!

Once you've earnt $500 (it took me 5 months to earn that, while doing school and on youth wage), read books on investment. Learn to invest the money. Or if you're more daring, start your own business. Fail a few times, learn like mad. Try again. Fail? Again. Again, until you suceed.

Business not for you? Go to important business functions (when I was 17, I borrowed a friend's tux and snuck into business functions). Meet the people. Get free food. Make contacts, and get a job. Spend the MINIMUM, buy a house at the worst section of town, no car, no luxuries, and invest everything.



Once you've done ALL THAT, come back to me, tell me you're still a Communist :)


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
