THE POWER OF LEVERAGING THE CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST

"Are you worried about paying higher taxes? If so, Dan Nigito′s book is indispensable reading. Learn how to fight back legally!"
Bill O′Reilly, Anchor, Fox News Channel

"Debt is soaring. Government spending is skyrocketing. Major tax increases are certain. Dan correctly predicts a ′War on Wealth′ that will lead to shocking federal/state tax rates 45% to 50% on income and 25% to 30% on capital gains. As markets and real estate recover, only CRTs can rescue you from this crushing tax burden."
Charles Schultz, JD, President, Crescendo Interactive, Inc.
