Yes, hello, this is misinformed drivel which chooses to handwave away any existence of systems put in place to keep the poor that way.
It perpetuates the insulting idea that the poor are poor because they choose to be, and the problem most certainly isn't employers exploiting them, oh no, the problem is themselves.

"Rich Dad" says pretty early on he's not making fun of or belittling his workers while he most certainly is, which makes him not only an astoundingly bad person but a lying gaslighter as well.
I won't even go into exploiting a nine year-old and pretending he's somehow teaching him a valuable lesson.

The problem with the theory that his workers should quit in order to make more money (presumably off of other workers like themselves) is that it's a pyramid scheme.
In order to be on top, you have to belittle and exploit those below you, and if you choose not to, it's your own fault.
It's turtles all the way down, except the turtles are the poor and the marginalized working for peanuts.

I'd say burn this book but if we all recycle it maybe it will finally be useful.
One angry star and a reminder to eat the rich.
