Tomorrow I've got a live PLO game and then dinner with a good friend.
I've been getting through more of Rich Dad Poor Dad and came across this excerpt that I find thought provoking:
"It is this idea of Robin Hood, or taking from the rich to give to the poor that has caused the most pain for the poor and the middle class. The reason the middle class is so heavily taxed is because of the Robin Hood ideal. The real reality is that the rich are not taxed. It's the middle class who pays for the poor, especially the educated upper-income middle class." He continues explaining that corporations and accountants help the rich pay significantly less taxes than they 'ought' to. I'd known this but I hadn't known it.
Also today while speaking with my father I was reminded of how wise he is and how lucky I am to be able to consult him. We were discussing a point that Kiyosaki makes,, that the poor have expenses, the middle class have liabilities posing as assets (house, car etc) and the rich have assets that provide cash flow. My dad instantly got that distinction about how the middle class have illusory investments. I'm quite lucky to be able to interact with his experience.
Tomorrow... on to the next one. I'm going to make sure I have myself on a leash to cut bluffing in certain spots, I made some notes of them after my session in this game last week, now to execute.
Interesting read.
Ive been following this thread but cant really recall if i ever posted in here.
Best of luck in 2018
