SOCIAL CAPITAL
That
part of your wealth you keep, after capital gain taxes and estate taxes,
we call your Financial Capital.
The portion you lose due to capital gain and estate taxes we call
your Social Capital.
The
good news is that capital gain and estate taxes are 100% Voluntary! It generally comes as a shock when we tell
individuals that they are a Philanthropist.
They generally do not think of themselves in these terms, until we
define a philanthropist as someone who gives away upwards of 30% during life to
capital gain taxes and up to 60% at death in estate taxes.
The
question is will you be a Voluntary or Involuntary Philanthropist? Would like to self direct these dollars back
into your community in ways that reflect your values or would you like
to have the IRS do it for you.
What
will your legacy be? Will it be a tax or a gift? The choice is yours!
