Evan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Knowing your money is going to a good cause can activate some of the same pleasure centers in your brain as food and sex, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. The Whole article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19235071/ Maybe scrooge should have gone to see a shrink instead of 3 ghosts? As for the fact that people will feel good for their taxes.

Euthyphro's Thorn Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 If all of our tax money was going for good causes, then paying them might not be so painful. But since so much of it is used for not-so-good causes and just being wasted in general, I can't exactly call it enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I think this has to be some sort of evolutionary survival trait. Generally speaking, groups that help each other survive better than groups that don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
