What if everything you’ve been taught about taxes is wrong?
In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki is joined by longtime Rich Dad Advisor and CPA Tom Wheelwright, author of Tax-Free Wealth. Together, they expose one of the biggest financial truths most people never learn: the tax code isn’t a punishment—it’s a series of incentives designed to reward investors, business owners, and those who create value.
You’ll discover why employees and small business owners often pay the most in taxes, while big business owners and insider investors legally pay far less—or even nothing. Tom breaks down how the rich use the tax code to build wealth, and how you can start doing the same… legally and ethically.
Whether you're a W-2 employee, a solo entrepreneur, or ready to invest in real estate or oil, this episode gives you a roadmap to start making smarter financial decisions—and keeping more of what you earn.

This is not financial advice.
You may be asking, “what does that mean?”
Let me explain…
Do not just do what I, my team or my guest says. That would be stupid and irresponsible. Take the education, then use your own brain and make your own decisions.
YOU must take responsibility for your future and your success. That is why you are here. Neither I, or my team, or my guests, know your risk levels, prior education, emotional maturity or how much money you can afford to lose.
We are only telling you what we believe to be smart moves. But you must decide for yourself. There are NEVER guarantees.
Also understand that we are REAL teachers. We practice what we preach. With that in mind we often invest in the very projects that may be mentioned on this show. While it is never our intent, we could possibly profit from others investing in our recommendations.
Take the education we provide but then determine your own actions. If it does not make sense to you, get more education before you invest. We will continue to provide education and there will always be more opportunities.
