That's cute. Why don't you set a good example for Google by sending the government double what you owe in income taxes this year? Just call it a gift, because you couldn't correctly call it a "civic duty."
In fact, you're in a better position than Google to do so. Any publicly-traded company like Google would be immediately sued for dereliction of duty to shareholders to minimizing taxes if they decided to start giving away extra money (shareholders' money) to the government.
By the way, in 2010 Google paid $2.3 billion federal tax on income of $10.8 billion.
