Agree, but a lot of, possibly all money, is taxed at least twice.
Owner of part of a company? Make a profit? Tax. Want that profit? That's capital gains, that's more tax. Buy something? Sales tax, at least, more for many items. Sell that something for a profit? Tax. Make money? Income tax. Give money (over a certain level, 20k maybe?) to somebody? Tax.
At least in the US you tend to notice it (although usually ignore it most of the time), in the UK I noticed that the Value Added Tax is just included in the price, which is both convenient and a way of hiding just how badly you are getting fucked.
