This guy's points are completely absurd. Not just absurd but also disingenuous. His point is that since someone long long time ago paid some tax on some funds therefore all the money that took part in that transaction is now tainted forever and cannot be ever taxed again. No matter how many times it circulates. First of all "no double taxation" is a dogma, he just invented to help the rich. Because it sounds good, even though it doesn't make any sense. Secondly, taxes reflect the benefits one derives from living in an organized civilized society. You drive a car? You pay a tax to fund road repairs. Why should that be wrong? Because some dogma says "no no no you can't do that because someone already paid a sales tax at the refinery". Ridiculous. He's paid to brainwash people into helping the rich, who really, really don't need any more help than they are already getting.

Your argument does not make any sence.. what if I barely use my car to drive, how come I have to pay taxes for the roads I'm not using.. ?

You make no sense. Taxes are stupid, they’re basically a way for governments to steal our hard-earned money. They take it by force and there’s almost nothing you can do about it. It’s just ridiculous and unfair for middle class which is about to disappear because of these dumb, incompetent democrats.
