If capital gains taxes are double taxes, then are sales taxes also double taxes but on the poor?

Jammie Taddei: no.income tax is double taxation.

Carli Watterson: Yes they both are. Many state sales taxes are a result of public vote though

Garry Ohmen: In some respects yes and in some respects no, if you cannot figure out the differences then I suspect you are a liberal that is not willing to see reality.

Adrian Paraz: Capital gains are not double taxes , you are paying taxes on the Profit from investing your capital , no new taxes charged on the original capital

Maurice Breuning: Jesus was not a liberal. And the answer to your question no. Do the math....

Pei Heatherly: I don't think you hear any more than you WANT to hear. Sales taxes do not MAINLY affect the poor. Thank you for yet another moronic rant.

Elvin Mannheimer: If you're below a certain income level, you're not paying income tax, so at that point, a sales tax wouldn't be a double tax.

Carmina Stickney: Yes. Sales tax IS a double taxation.And may I add -- there is! a level of income under which people should NOT have to pay income tax, for this very reason.

Gabriel Realmuto: Wouldn't that mean we are triple taxing the wealthy? Or considering the estate tax takes a much larger portion of their money, are we going to say they are quadruple taxed?

Bettye Arre: Yes, and taxes on government employees is more taxes on taxes. So all taxes should be eliminated.

Caleb Chapman: No.. because the poor pay zero income tax. Sales tax is their ONLY taxAnd most often get money paid to them !

Debora Soliani: You ALWAYS hear that?That's funny, because I worked in financial services and I NEVER heard that.Maybe you are just DELUSIONAL AS USUAL?

Maurice Breuning: Yes, except sales taxes are double taxes, but on everyone, not just the poor.Since you and I both believe sales taxes are unfair, for different reasons, let's get rid of them.Deal?
