Nixon's 1971 move crushed your paycheck
Dear Reader,
The numbers don't lie. They scream.
Labor got screwed. Big time.
In 1970, workers took home 51% of America's income. By 2022? Just 43%.
That's not a dip. It's theft.
$149 trillion stolen from workers over 52 years. Think about that. $22,000 per worker per year.
Gone.
The Great Wage Heist: Workers lost $149 trillion over 52 years as their share of national income dropped from 51% to 43%—that's $22,000 stolen from each worker annually
Nixon's Golden Betrayal: The 1971 end of the gold standard unleashed money printing and globalization, flooding America with cheap foreign labor that crushed domestic wages forever

Nixon killed the gold standard in 1971. Game over for American workers.
We started printing paper. Sending it overseas. Getting real goods back.
Genius move for Wall Street. Disaster for Main Street.
China flooded the market with cheap labor. American wages never recovered.
Now they tell us robots will save us. Sure they will.
These same robots that'll replace every job? They're our salvation?
I've seen this movie. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer.
Technology doesn't trickle down. It floods up.
To the top.
Where it always goes.
Workers built America. Now America forgets its workers.
That's not capitalism. That's crony capitalism.
There's a difference.
Smart money knows it.
Labor Day Truth
Today we celebrate Labor Day.
But what are we celebrating?
I think about my rich dad. Poor dad too.
Poor dad worked hard his whole life. Got a paycheck. Paid taxes. Followed the rules.
Rich dad owned assets. Made money work for him.
The system rewards rich dad. Punishes poor dad.
That's the game.
To every construction worker pouring concrete in 100-degree heat. I see you.
To every nurse pulling double shifts. I see you.
To every teacher spending their own money on supplies. I see you.
To every factory worker whose plant moved to Mexico. I see you.
You're not lazy. You're not stupid.
You're playing by rules that changed without telling you.
The old rules said work hard. Get ahead.
The new rules say own assets. Make money while you sleep.
Labor Day should celebrate this truth: Your labor built every skyscraper. Every bridge. Every road.
But who owns them?
Not you.
You trade time for money. The rich trade money for time.
Time wins.
Every time.

The Labor Day Lie
They'll barbecue today. Wave flags. Give speeches.
Politicians will praise the working class.
Then go back to serving their real bosses.
The ones who write the checks.
Labor unions fought for weekends. Eight-hour days. Safety rules.
Now they're dinosaurs. Extinct.
Globalization killed them. Automation buried them.
The workers they protected? Left behind.
Betrayed by both parties.
Democrats promise help. Republicans promise jobs.
Both deliver to Wall Street.
Main Street gets crumbs.
What Workers Need to Know
Financial education.
That's what's missing.
Schools don't teach it. Parents can't teach it.
Nobody teaches how money really works.
How the Federal Reserve prints your purchasing power away.
How inflation is a hidden tax.
How debt makes you a slave.
How assets make you free.
This Labor Day, don't just celebrate work.
Celebrate learning.
Learn about money. Real money.
Not the fake paper stuff.
Gold. Silver. Bitcoin. Real estate.
Assets that can't be printed.
Assets that protect you when the system fails.
And it will fail.
It always does.
To America's Workers
You deserve better than this rigged game.
You deserve leaders who tell the truth.
You deserve schools that teach financial literacy.
You deserve a system that rewards hard work.
But wanting and getting are different things.
So educate yourself.
Buy assets.
Get out of the rat race.
Before the maze collapses completely.
The wealthy already know this.
Now you do too.
Happy Labor Day.
Now get to work.
On yourself.
