Here, our government charges GST, which stands for goods and services tax. Every time we buy or sell something or eat out, we have to pay this tax. I understand that governments need to levy taxes, this is how they run their various services. I get that. However, they already make us pay income tax. So how can they tax us again? They are levying these taxes on top of our incomes which are already taxed. This is double-dipping, double taxation. This isn't right.

It's more than double dipping.
They tax you when you make it.
When you spend it.
Then at the end of the year they tax you for what you spent it on.

Now imagine living somewhere like New York City where there’s a state income tax on top of a city income tax
