How To Get Rich Quick and EZ!!! No Money Down!!!

"Learn to be Rich! Free Training! Coming to Seattle / Tacoma / Everett!!!" But, not really. It's no wonder we are in the financial mess we are in now, when our be knighted consumer ostensibly remains so vulnerable to financial "gurus" like Robert Kiyosaki, with his "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" sideshow; visions of the snake oil salesmen trafficking their wares along the frontier in the late 19th century.

So Mr. Kiyosaki is now touring the country expatiating on the nobility of being rich and on the ignominy of being poor and on how easy it is for you to get to his own private Shangrila (Idaho being way too much a backwater, like Seattle); if only you will pay him for the advice! These game show host / used car salesmen / sub prime mortgage broker types might also qualify for an anchor spot on CNN or as an MC on American Idol or on Dancing With the Stars.

Yet Robert does so much better as an oracle of financial wisdom.....alongside Dr. Phil, Suze Orman and the legion of other would be financial "experts" lurking out there for new business. Here's my advice on how to get rich quick and easy: set yourself up as an expert on financial markets (the how is up to you, but these days it seems this is far easier than being the real deal...just say so!), then borrow some money, partner with a "Donald" and do infomercials! Bingo!

So Robert will be here in the Seattle area lecturing on his "Learn To Be Rich" strategies, but only in spirit! At the bottom of his internet ad, in 6 point font we learn that, "Robert Kiyosaki will not attend this event". He is far too busy with larger jurisdictions (like Chicago, New York, L.A.) to make an appearance in such 2nd cities as Seattle, leaving us troglodytes to his acolytes (for practice, per chance); who will no doubt one day set themselves up as Robert Kiyosaki disciples and carry the torch to a new generation of suckers.
