You love to pay taxes -- you LOVE it!!

A University study says so -- so it must be true. I wonder who paid for the university study? Could it be MY TAX MONEY?

The thing that's really funny here -- at least 50% of the peeps who read this will believe it. Next article? Global warming.

Paying taxes is a pleasurable duty

Paying taxes feels good, say researchers.

The surprising discovery, based on brain scans, can also predict which people are most likely to donate cash to charity.

Bill Harbaugh at the University of Oregon in Eugene, US, and colleagues gave 19 female university students $100, and told them some of this money would have to go towards taxes.

Each volunteer then read some tax scenarios involving $0 to $45 in taxes, knowing that one of the scenarios would be selected at random and the related amount be subtracted from their $100.

Secret pleasure
As the participants viewed the tax scenarios, their brains were scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Surprisingly, whenever the students read the taxation scenarios, scientists saw a spike in activity within two of the brain's reward centres – the nucleus accumbens and caudate nucleus.

Yes -- the nucleus accumbens and the caudate nucleus ... well shit, Poindexter, why didn't you say so. The Klown sees a "spike in something" as well ... a wooden spike -- RIGHT THROUGH THE HEART OF THESE BLOODSUCKING LEECHES.

AND ANOTHER THING ... I don't suppose the "good brain waves" were related to getting to keep the rest of the money - right Plato?
