Hi Matthew,

I think it's not often that you meet people who WANT to pay their taxis
;-) I pay my taxis, but not voluntarily.

But there're some things I pay money voluntarily
* a nature conservation-association
* for paying rent, energy and money for the preachers of my church
* I plan to support the accociation a little bit when the next money
from the current bill is payed in

I think it diffes what kind of person somebody is.

greets to your island ;-)
(what city are you living there?)

kind regards
Daniel Brüßler
