Starving the Tax Beasts

I have concluded that there IS a way to fight the beasts—starve them. Cut off their money supply.

I suggest that we engage in a REAL “tea party”; a REAL tax rebellion. No, I’m not advocating anything illegal like refusing to file or pay taxes. Nothing as inane as sending tea bags to Congress. I’m not saying commit fraud or up your exemptions. Committing fraud to avoid taxes is like shooting a cop to avoid a traffic ticket.

What I AM advocating is that you take an active interest in your taxes. There are thousands of tax loopholes that you can legally take advantage of and decrease your tax bill. I am not advocating tax evasion; I AM advocating tax avoidance. (The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is 5 years.) These tax strategies were placed in the tax code so others could use them. There is no reason why YOU cannot also use them.

Some tax strategies to ponder. Why not take advantage of the inane tax laws? Some research and effort may yield worthwhile results.
