I'm happy to pay my taxes - I never cheat - but I'm not happy
overpaying. Overpaying is paying more than the amount the law requires. So I'm willing to spend a few minutes educating myself on the tax law and strategies, so that I can keep my taxes at a minimum, and money in pocket at a maximum. If you're happy to pay taxes, I guess you could make yourself ecstatic by just sending an extra check for a few thousand dollars to the IRS every year?
It's not true that 'paying a lot of taxes is a good problem to have'. If taxes were always a fixed percentage of income, then yes, paying a lot means you took in a lot, and so that would be good. But tax law in the US is Byzantine, and the more common scenario is that income is constant, but the percentage you pay in taxes is a variable rate which depends on many things. In that case paying a lot of taxes is (in my opinion) a very bad thing.
