re: #522 Obdicut

As I said above: double taxation— triple quadruple— occurs all the time. Taxation occurs when money transfers hands. Why is the estate tax somehow specially wrong in this regard, when ‘two bites’ happens all the time— as in any time you spend money on anything with sales tax, just as the easiest example?

I think you are missing the point…intentionally of course…people will expect some reasonable tax to operate govts at all levels…it’s a matter of degrees…you can ask all the convoluted questions you want but the answer is always the same
