Innavative Tax Reduction Solutions, or "innovative ways to reduce taxes," says this beautiful business card that shows me David. I ask, 'What do you do? ", He says:" The laws on how to pay taxes in America are about 17,000 pages, many senators and congressmen leggine create small and under-leggine, paragraphs, to help their friends. I find these paragraphs, and these laws and adapted them to my customers. In practice I try to use all those that are defined laws ad personam ". But by golly, I say: "All the world's land." Also in Italy we have the laws on a personal basis, but I never really thought that these laws are made ​​in the USA. Eh, the strength of the lobby, I tell myself.

A strong type that Dave. Choose an education for their children at home, or the two kids are at home studying with his mother. They study Latin, classics, and all those things that we Italians to follow the "American model" we have stopped teaching. "They are the quintessence of the philosophy of Aristotle," he says, and I want my children to know the things that count, not the technique and all the "how to" that is taught in American schools.

It reminds me a lot of sentences that I wrote in a note, quoting a phrase of Chesterton, my father one Christmas many years ago: "By dint of making practical men, we did only mediocre men." Maybe this is the great defect of Americans, but we're opposing, and are already spreading over again (the home school, are a perfect example)

Dave is part of a group of friends, who invited us to dinner at a wonderful American restaurant (good food at last!), And who were (for me and for my Spanish colleague José University of Navarra) of extraordinary hosts. There's Tom, the owner of a chain of pizzerias, a kind of "Smile Puccini Pizza", www.puccinissmilingteeth.com , but a great lover of good food, his girlfriend Christi G. Garcia, simple and extraordinary girl I met at Rotary meeting in Indianapolis, who works in a law firm (if you look at the site seem to see the site of Charlie's Angels, but it is a law firm ... www.hjzlaw.com ) Then David (the creative use of taxes), Giorgia and his girlfriend (Josephine).

This is an evening American, a classic American night, people simple, patient, friendly, curious and interested. They do everything to make you feel at ease, to explain, illustrarti, involve you. I really hope that he represented Italy well, I really hope that you will meet again in the near future, perhaps in Italy, where we can enjoy together the beauty of a good wine.

But the wine was so good with no friends? Until next time!
