Yes, I'm currently in practice...only for 1 year, so I haven't had much time yet to enjoy my success!

Tying patriotism to the payment of taxes is a slippery slope, in my opinion. If you're going to be doing that, then you should not be taking advantage of any tax credits or deductions, and you should be paying the full amount of taxes levied each year. If you suggest that those who are against paying higher taxes are unpatriotic, and you're not paying every dime of your tax burden, it's a bit hypocritical.
