Here's a thought - stop earning millions every year, and you won't have to pay so much in taxes. You've chosen to be wealthy. Enjoy your wealth.
I pay property tax, sales tax, and yes - I do PAY federal income tax on a few minor investments (I have 20 shares of Intel stock, it's like $1.60/year in income tax on the dividends). But because we earn less than $60k/year household, there's really nothing to tax after our standard deduction.
