We recieve a paycheck and have income taxes come out on a federal and state level. We go to purchase goods and we are taxed on those. Then those goods are sometimes categorized as property and again we are taxed. That’s three times taxed for working to acquire one item. It may not be technically as income isn’t really part of the transaction to purchase a good and owning property isn’t actually the transaction that is taxed by sales. But still in the example of a car the money I earned to purchase it is taxed at least three times.
