Kiyosaki Questions How U.S. Collects 40% Taxes Yet Holds $39.2 Trillion Debt

On June 2, Robert Kiyosaki questioned on X how the U.S. government collects high taxes yet remains deeply indebted, highlighting a fiscal contradiction. Public debt stood at approximately $39.2 trillion, while the Congressional Budget Office projects gross federal debt will reach $64 trillion by 2036.

Kiyosaki extended his fiscal warning into markets on May 31, noting that gold rose 65% in one year while savings accounts paid only 4% annually. European Central Bank data showed gold accounted for 27% of global official reserves at year-end 2025, surpassing U.S. Treasuries at 22%. Kiyosaki cited the shift as evidence that central banks are moving away from dollar-denominated assets amid concerns over government debt sustainability.
