I sold all of my business enterprises a few years ago and invested the monies and I am currently completely retired. When I was earning monies from business I had various accountants over the years and always told them not to be creative...other than using normal business deductions...as I never minded paying taxes...so I always payed near to or the highest rate of income tax. I now do my own taxes and pay the highest rate for Capital Gains taxes...and do not mind doing so...though I do get irritated over many things the government spends monies on.
