I think that's true of income tax, but necessarily of others. With a sales tax, you can always choose not to buy or buy it used or somewhere else. Lots of other taxes are built into prices already. Income tax truly is gov't. extortion for the sole purpose of redistributing wealth. Pretty sad that, when it first became Constitution, the income tax was 1% and only on those making $1 million or more, which was true robber-baron status in those days. Look what it has become. AMT is outrageous.
