Nothing is stopping them from paying more taxes right now. Why not lead the way and check that off their to-do list immediately?

I'm not sure that's actually true. Taxes are set in law. If you write to the IRS saying my tax bill is $1000 but I'm sending you a check for $10,000 because I want to pay more I imagine they'd have to return it.
