“The Only Two Certainties in Life are Death and Taxes”
–Mark Twain –Benjamin Franklin
This old adage made profound by Benjamin Franklin and made famous by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), still holds true today. Even with the best lawyers, you cannot ethically avoid taxes, and we’re not suggesting that Tax planning will get you out of paying our fair share. But, there is a big difference between paying your fair share and paying everything they will try to get from you.
