Taxes Unconstitutional?

What is the name of your state? PA

Is paying multiple taxes on the same item more then once unconstitutionall? As in, if I buy a car, I have to pay a tax on it...then if I sell it, taxes again need to be paid on it..ect, ect. And the money I use to buy the car in the first place has already been taxed, so there's another one! It just doesn't seem very fair...

The buyer always pays the taxes. Sellers don't pay taxes.

Did you think America's wealth came from a magic hat or the hopes and dreams of little children. There are many levels of taxes that are distributed to the different levels of government that provide the various services you take for granted every day. These are the variety of taxes that you think are unconstitutional and unfair.

There is an argument that the federal government collecting an income tax is unconstitutional, that the federal government only has a right to levy taxes on states, not individuals.

No arguments, just a bunch of bufoons who have made all sorts of ridiculous claims. Some of them died of old age in prison. Might that tell one something?

There is no argument.

The matter is COMPLETELY settled by the 16th amendment.

Not all of them are old. And buffoon might be one name, but "Ron Paul supporters" is another.
