Avoid the greatest killer of wealth-building Your first three to four months of work each year is done just to pay taxes. Just think, every dollar you earn is cut by at least 33%. Even before you get your paycheck, you have paid the salaries of most of the people in Washington, your state capital, all the brave personnel serving in about 195 countries around the world as well as buying millions of items you will never see or use. In the 21st century, it is hard to avoid paying taxes. Even when you try to save or invest, you will pay tax. You have few ways to avoid being taxed. And it seems that the more you have and are able to pay, the less of the total you pay. Those with money seem to find a way to pay less of it than you do. They have ways to grow wealth and pass it on to family without tax. For example, Warren Buffett pays only 17%--Total taxes.
