I can't remember where (I vaguely think it was in Jim Bouton's "Ball Four," but don't know why I think that), but years ago, I read a line like "My goal is to have a tax bill big enough to complain about." Whenever I want to complain about my taxes (and we pay some pretty high ones), I remember that.
