    I know that’s how it works. I’m complaining because the way it works is bullshit.

      Well taxation is completely necessary unless you have a steady stream of cash flowing into the government from another source, which almost no country has and no country will have indefinitely.

      We can argue about rates and cut offs but taxation in general is not a bad system

        Never said it was a bad system in general. But as a normal citizen not engaging in business I think paying taxes possibly 4 times (federal income tax, state income tax, sales tax when first bought new, sales tax when sold as used) on the same item is wrong.
