From the Inside Flap

Are you an Accidental Philanthropist?
The current state of our tax system penalizes those who work the hardest, take the risks, and actually buy into capitalism and free markets. This severely flawed system, which taxes the same dollar up to five times, is going to get worse in the years ahead. The result of this situation makes many of us accidental philanthropists—wherein the U.S. Congress redistributes the taxes you pay, without you having a say as to where that money goes.
While our government continues to wage its “war on wealth,” there is a way in which you can fight back. And with The Power of Leveraging the Charitable Remainder Trust, author Daniel Nigito—whose programs have saved families millions in tax dollars and created millions more for charities across the United States—will show you how.
The simple, yet powerful strategy outlined here, known as charitable leverage, allows you to become a partner with charity while gaining control over your tax destiny and providing for you and your family. Based on two financial instruments—the Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) and Cash Value Life Insurance (CVLI)—that are rooted in our tax code and have been hiding in front of us for decades, Nigito’s new type of wealth management reveals how inverting the way these two tools are normally used can produce some amazing results for both individuals and charities.
