People who "save money" on tax advice pay 3x more to the federal government. People who invest in "safe" assets end up getting 3x lower returns over their lifetime. We want our clients to pay $0 in tax or as close to $0 as possible and we want to grow their investments in a way that secures their heirs and their heir's heirs forever. If you're interested in short-term, charlatan investments or spending as little money as possible on tax advice and paying a lot of money to the government, don't work with us. Our clients are interested in their grandchildren's grandchildren being from old money and they believe that the government should get as little of their dollars as possible. ---------------------------------------------------------- “I live in Alexandria, Virginia. Near the Supreme Court chambers is a toll bridge across the Potomac. When in a rush, I pay the dollar toll and get home early. However, I usually drive outside the downtown section of the city and cross the Potomac on a free bridge. This bridge was placed outside the downtown Washington, DC area to serve a useful social service, getting drivers to drive the extra mile and help alleviate congestion during the rush hour. If I went over the toll bridge and through the barrier without paying the toll, I would be committing tax evasion. If, however, I drive the extra mile and drive outside the city of Washington to the free bridge, I am using a legitimate, logical and suitable method of tax avoidance, and am performing a useful social service by doing so. For my tax evasion, I should be punished. For my tax avoidance, I should be commended. The tragedy of life today is that so few people know that the free bridge even exists.” -Former Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis
