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,

I wish I had your optimism when it comes to paying taxes @Benjamin E Salas. Glass half full approach is always nice :)
But do let us know if you still feel the same way after a few years (and don’t become jaded like the rest of us!).
