That used to be a real popular thing. I can remember my dad and my uncle talking when I was a kid and I'd always hear them use the phrase "Hey, I pay my taxes!" With that one statement they were saying two things... I'm honest and I pay my fair share. Today it's almost a badge of honor to many to pay little or no taxes regardless of income. Heck I see ads all the time where people claim they owed "X" amount in taxes but they'd called the offices of "Dewey Cheatem and Howe Attorneys at Law." Now they only had to pay 5-10% of what they owed. I always see that and think "great now the rest of us have to pick up your share."
