Excellent post. This should be on the front pages of mainstream newspapers. It parallels Juliet Schor's strong body of research on consumption and happiness. My piece written after hearing her live and another related piece, "The Peak of Happiness" are both on my blog http://alison97215.wordpress.com/

Perhaps these researchers need to do a study to figure out why so many people that claim to derive pleasure from using their money pro-socially (and I don't doubt many are being truthful) will still derive great pain from their money being used pro-socially merely by associating the simple word "tax" to the process.

In fact I just started a blog called "Give It Away."  I'm hoping to encourage folks to give their upcoming tax rebates to charity.  I'm very encouraged now that I know how happy this will make everyone!
