I'm confused about sales tax too. And property tax. So I earn money, on which I pay taxes to the state and local governments. Then I go to buy something, and I get taxed when I buy it. Then, if I keep it, I pay tax every so often just because I have the thing.

Does anyone else notice this? Ever add up what portion of your income goes to taxes -- beyond the obvious income tax portion?
