“Paying taxes, according to the brain, can bring satisfaction.”

If it brings any satisfaction for most people, I suspect its the satisfaction of no longer having the tax bill to pay.

As for altruism/charity/being nice. Its really none of those. Your legally compelled to pay taxes.

Hmm, reading more I see that the headline is totally misleading, arguably even an outright lie. They tested people giving to charity, not paying taxes.
