I gave you an analogy, an illustration, of the numerous of times we are taxed to create and even purchase an end product. You just seem to be fine with a system that does it, and are trying to justify it because you've settled into the comfortable position of acceptance that it is, what it is.
The argument was that money was taxed more than once. I'm saying it isn't. Do you have something to show me where I am wrong in answering your example? Did you answer my question?

If someone is already being taxed to create or sell a product, why tax the person who buys it? BTW, regulatory taxes do impact the cost of products we purchase and produce, not just income taxes from wages.
Stay on topic. My initial statement was concerning the B.S. from the website. Are there sales taxes after everything else? Yes, if you want to argue to get rid of sales taxes go ahead but it has nothing to do with what I said.

My response was simply to explain why people hold the views that things are being taxed twice, not validate them. And you're right, I was straying off topic.

A lot of people hold those views. The article posted held those views. They were wrong.
When Bush Jr. was in office I had the opportunity to look up migration from the U.S. and found it had increased movements of people into Canada. The same trend happened when Sr. was in office, as well.
I heard a man over a talk show once, phoned in from Australia, older gent, said he left he wasn't coming back and only visited son during the holidays. Life was better for him there. That was a couple of years ago and that conversation popped for me in a way to always remember it.
In 2012 Mexican migration into the U.S slowed; may have picked up since then. Bottom line....
The U.S. is loosing its appeal.
