I love Paying taxes!

I love paying taxes because it means, despite my best efforts, I made money in the governments eyes. 

Despite an advanced graduate degree in taxation, despite a real estate strategist, despite accelerating depreciation, despite an accounting team taking ever expense and write off legally possible... I still made money, even on paper. 

Someone else had the glass half full approach, and that's my take on why I love paying taxes. Its like saying to the government "you got me, hand in the cookie jar, I made money."

Thanks for reading,
