As Capitalism Crumbles, U.S. Taxpayers Pick Up the Pieces
Robert Kiyosaki Why the Rich Get Richer

Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 12:00AM

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?

1. TV telling us
something is very wrong with our global financial systems.
That's when we'll get it through our dough heads.

2. Need FDR Again: OBAMA!
Capitalism needs another savior like FDR. It only works when the rules are made and enforced. Hopefully the FBI is finally doing that.
