I've heard this one a couple of times, except each time it was $1000 worth of each. I guess those of us here just set the bar a little bit higher [;)]

An old friend of mine once said "if people put as much effort into making money as they do into avoiding taxes they would have so much that the taxes would not matter." His dream was to pay > a million in taxes. He never reached that high but he died a millionair.
Good advice from a very respected friend. Never understood people who had outstanding debts investing money in a gamble instead of paying the debts. Make no mistake, all investments, even real estate, is a gamble. Play VERY carefully. |

Quoted: His dream was to pay > a million in taxes. That is one of the most assinine thing's I've heard. Sounds like a liberal. |

Yea, Sweep got it right! Ralph didn't like taxes anymore than anyone else but he could do the math. Like I said he died with well over a million $$ and earned every single dime of it. Started as a worker in a small business for near nothing and moved on to better things.
He also used to say that anyone that entered his office and tried to sell him an idea to save taxes got his ass thrown out. His opinion was any idea should stand on it's merits and the tax savings, if any, were gravy. |
