They seem to have no hesitation at paying household bills or business expenses but just mention taxes, and they go into a tailspin. I have often wondered how much human productivity is wasted on lamenting taxes rather than being channeled into doing whatever we do for a living. Let me suggest a better way to handle taxes. It seems to me that accepting the inevitable has a lot going for it. An analogy to electricity might be instructive.
Wasting electricity is foolish.
Turning off appliances not in use is prudent. Once we have minimized our use of electricity, we pay the bill without much ado. None of us would forego the convenience of electricity to save the cost of having it. Likewise, once we have minimized our taxes through legitimate planning, we should simply pay the tax. None of us would forego the benefits of living in the U.S. to save the cost of citizenship.
