Book Description
OVER 300,000 COPIES IN PRINT, WITH A NEW CHAPTER ON THE 2018 TAX CUTS. There's a massive freight train bearing down on the average American investor, and it's coming in the form of higher taxes. The United States Government has made trillions of dollars in unfunded promises for programs like Social Security and Medicare—and the only way to deliver on these promises is to raise taxes. Some experts have even suggested that tax rates will need to double, just to keep our country solvent. Unfortunately, if you're like most Americans, you've saved the majority of your retirement assets in tax-deferred vehicles like 401(k)s and IRAs. If tax rates go up, how much of your hard-earned money will you really get to keep? In The Power of Zero, McKnight provides a concise, step-by-step roadmap on how to get to the 0% tax bracket by the time you retire, effectively eliminating tax rate risk from your retirement picture. Now, in this expanded edition, McKnight has updated the book with a new chapter on the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, showing readers how to navigate the new tax law, and how they can extend the life of their retirement savings by taking advantage of it now. The day of reckoning is fast approaching. Are you ready to do what it takes to experience the power of zero?

Book Description
A major work of history, The Great Tax Wars is the gripping, epic story of six decades of often violent conflict over wealth, power, and fairness that gave America the income tax. It's the story of a tumultuous period of radical change, from Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War through the progressive era under Theodore Roosevelt and ending with Woodrow Wilson and World War I. During these years of upheaval, America was transformed from an agrarian society into a mighty industrial nation, great fortunes were amassed, farmers and workers rebelled, class war was narrowly averted, and America emerged as a global power. The Great Tax Wars features an extraordinary cast of characters, including the men who built the nation's industries and the politicians and reformers who battled them -- from J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie to Lincoln, T.R., Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, and Eugene Debs. From their ferocious battles emerged a more flexible definition of democracy, economic justice, and free enterprise largely framed by a more progressive tax system. In this groundbreaking book, Weisman shows how the ever controversial income tax transformed America and how today's debates about the tax echo those of the past.

Book Description
As politicians from both sides of the political spectrum constantly deluge the citizenry with class warfare idioms and clichés, aided by the media, regarding tax policies, we, the people, continually are told the “rich need to pay their fair share.” Or your favorite politician will tell you they are “working for the common man” or the “working-class family,” “working poor,” or the “middle class” while simultaneously creating tax policies that fail to uphold their stated objectives at best and, at worst, outright lie to the public. The politicians’ desire to be reelected outweigh their desire to be honest, and despite their own personal top 1 percent wealth, they continually tell the public they will write laws to punish these same evil rich people, themselves excluded, of course. This deception and purposeful division must end, argues first-time author James Lewis. Taxation without representation was only one of twenty-seven different grievances outlined by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence, but it is the one grievance which has become more egregious, even with representation and is easily provable to anyone who is intellectually honest. It took our government less than four years to begin abusing their new income taxation power afforded them by the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913. Tax policies have changed many times over the past 108 years, radically at times, from nominal single-digit tax brackets to wealth-crushing 94 percent top-end tax brackets affecting only select groups of Americans all the while our politicians claim fairness. Taxation with Representation: A New Evil is a historical, honest, and constitutional look at United States tax policies, their effects, “fairness,” and outcomes and lays bare who is responsible for the class warfare and division in America. This book will actually define the “middle class” (something most elected officials can’t do), reveal who is paying taxes, and demonstrate not only the inherent unfairness of our current progressive tax system but offer solutions which will not only make the system truly fair but will ensure a bright future for our posterity. There are many policy areas where we citizens can share respectful disagreements, but truth and fairness in tax policy is not one of them.
