Income Tax AND Sales Tax

[aahorn]

When you earn a dollar, you pay the State of CO tax on that dollar. When you spend that same dollar, you pay the State of CO tax on that dollar again.

Being from Texas, where there is sales tax but no income tax, and having only lived in Colorado for four years, I still do not understand how this double-dipping by the State is fine with everyone. Can someone clue me in?

its just another way to pay, or attempt to pay the state's bills.

every state has a unique combination of sales tax %, property tax rates, income tax %, ect.

I'm orignally from Colorado and moving to Texas. I gave up trying to figure out why I have to buy a "membership" at some bars/towns to drink... its just a form of taxation to help Texas pay the bills.

flat tax on sales is the only correct way to be taxed
