HOW TO GET TO THE 0% TAX BRACKET Thomas Dingley Class size: 30At Mosaic WSG, we believe there is a massive freight train bearing down on the average American investor, and it’s coming in the form of higher taxes. The U.S. Government has made trillions of dollars in promises for programs such as Soc. Security & Medicare it simply can’t afford to keep. The only way to deliver on these promises is to RAISE taxes. Some experts have even suggested that tax rates will have to double to keep our country solvent. If that should happen, how much of your hard-earned money will you really end up with? The course is based on a book by David McKnight “The Power of Zero” which is about effectively eliminating tax risk from your retirement picture. The $25 book is available for purchase.Dates: 3/19/2019-3/21/2019 Sessions: 2 Time: 6:30 PM-9:30 PM Day(s):Tu,ThTuition: District Resident - $25.00 eachNon-Resident - $28.00 eachLocation: High School - B107
