As Capitalism Crumbles, U.S. Taxpayers Pick Up the Pieces
by Robert Kiyosaki

As we all know, the world changed drastically on Sept. 11, 2001, when the twin towers of the World Trade Center fell.

This year, on the eve of Sept. 11, the twin towers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac crumbled. Then, on Sept. 15, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch disappeared. Actually, that was a triple-tower collapse if you count AIG.

In a few years, the biggest pair of towers will collapse: Social Security and Medicare. Even today, they're looking shaky. How many ground zeros can we as people, a nation, and a world withstand before we admit something is very wrong with our global financial systems? What will it take to wake us up?

Government Can't Fix It ...

...If you want to know why the towers of American capitalism are crumbling, I recommend reading "The Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin. It's not an easy book to find, but once you start reading it's to put down. In fact, in many ways it's a murder mystery about the financial "murder" of the middle class.

A very important lesson in the book is how political leaders use financial spin to deceive the public. The very, very rich use the system to legally steal from the rest of us by appealing to our sense of patriotism. When our leaders say, "We're bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because we want to protect the American people," they really mean "We're saving our rich friends."

All the bankers and politicians have to do is wave the red, white, and blue, play a few bars of "Yankee Doodle," and the masses get teary-eyed and pledge greater allegiance to legalized robbery. Yes, it's true that ignorance is bliss -- but ignorance is also expensive, and it cost us our freedom....

What I find most interesting is the fact that Mr. Kiyosaki talks briefly about the book "The Creature from Jekyll Island." A book many people consider to be "conspiracy theory" material. He is a man that has been through a few hard knocks and risen to the top to become one of the nations most respected businessmen.

Having risen to the top I guarantee you that no decision he makes that may have a significant impact on his life occurs without him talking to his attorney. Do you deserve any less? The only problem is his attorneys cost in the neighborhood of thousands of dollars an hour (my guess) and most of us cannot afford that kind of representation.

Pre-Paid Legal Services has a solution. It is called a Pre-Paid Legal Membership. For less than a dollar a day you can have access to attorneys for any common legal situation you may encounter*.
