Ben Lafazan is the man…read more I've gone through a number of accountants in the city, and every one of them feels like a factory that's pumping out returns for hundreds of people. They don't have time for you, and they'll bill you for an hour if you want to ask a question. With Ben, the personal touch is real. His door is always open. He'll meet with you personally whenever you want, and he'll patiently answer all your questions. If more come up, he'll give you his cell to text or call whenever you need him. Sometimes I call him at 3 am just to chat about the Mets. You probably shouldn't do that though, because you don't know him like I know him. He might be an older guy, but Ben knows his business cold. After a thorough consultation and my own procrastination about getting him the documents, our return was prepared quickly and properly. No complaints. Thanks Ben!

Mr. Slott is a genius who offers to help each of us whose lives are so terribly unfairly impacted…read moreby the utterly ridiculousness of the apparently intentional needless complexity found in the voluminous and ever changing Internal Revenue Service's tax codes, rules and regulations. They are written in a language understood by no one, a language so foreign to even those who write or modify the countless Volumes of their alleged understanding surely they privately express wonder that the vast majority of Americans who have full possession of their sanity and senses have never unitedly demanded the IRS be subjected to the most basic of all legal concepts, the "Reasonable Man" test. Are we really so afraid of and vulnerable to the inexplicably of the undeniably pointed and viciously unfair nature by which the Federal Government determines how to demand that the most be taken from the many who have the least that there is no end to our collective consciousness of ourselves as a "Nation of over which said Federal Government rules, rather than "acts" in a manner meant to be "of the People, by the People and for the People", the principal tenant of our brilliant Founding Fathers. Those exceptional men feared the financial system, especially the banking system allowed by the principles of Democracy. President George Washington, the first President and one of the few to follow who were arguably the only Statesmen to be elected to serve (NOTE: "serve") the people as our Chief Executive Officer and Commander in Chief over what was never meant to be a "standing army", used to colonize the countries of the world, openly worried about the negative effect on our new Nation financial entities might be, for though he believed in the goodness of Mankind he recognized the evil of its inherent Greed when given the freedoms of the Democracy of the newly created Republic. Mr. Slott explains the important and legitimate difference between the legality as well as the desirability of AVOIDING TAXES versus the illegality of EVADING TAXES. Far too many American Taxpayers are caught in the spiders web of crushingly unfair taxes, placed upon the Fruits of Our Labors-the money we are paid for the work that we do-meant to enable the enjoyment of the thoughtful and throughly debated Freedoms earned and by no means "given" to us all by virtue of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights, the very foundations of our Republic. Thomas Jefferson referred to it as our "great experiment in Democracy". More importantly to me is the answer given by Benjamin Franklin when he was asked, Is it a Republic, Mr. Franklin?!". "It is if you can keep it, Madam.", his reply. Search high and low in The Constitution of the United States of America and you will find that our glorious Nation was conceived and dedicated without mention of taxes on a Citizens Income. Such a proposition would literally have been heralded as in direct opposition to the very principles upon which this great Nation was founded. Such punishment placed upon the efforts of the very citizens without whom we "cannot long endure" is tantamount to "shooting oneself in the foot" or worse-for the citizen of greater wealth as a product of either a superior education or inherited monetary superiority, enabling them to purchase the expensive services of those far better equipped than they to find or to create tax "loopholes" for those who proudly wear the now well recognized badge signifying the power and pride that the "sense of Entitlement" bestowed upon this motley crew of citizens for whom the "Deck is Stacked" in their favor and they do not hesitate to sneer stupidly behind closed doors about their fellow citizens whom they mock for "bringing knives to a gunfight". In other words, for failing the reptilian vile test of behaving illegally as they do, without consequence. Far from receiving the consequences meant to be placed upon and suffered by those who behave illegally, these clever thieves brag openly in the same grandiose manner of the Emperor who displayed "The Emperors New Clothes" and after only a few brief moments of silent success, was treated rightly as the Fool he had proved himself to truly be. Mr. Slott places into the hands of the many information once allowed only the Emperors Devotees. It's every bit as important as the accomplishment of which Neil Armstrong described as "One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for Mankind"-modified only slightly to say, " That's one small step for a Man, one Tsunamic Leap for the average American Citizen!". Read this book and read every book Mr. Slott has written to share the secret truth once known only to the Emperors People, now available to each and every citizen of our "great experiment in Democracy". We are a Republic first and a Democracy only if we are able to be the Republic required for even the hope of Democracy to survive.
