FPG,

there's nothing that says the rules can't tax the same income more than once.



There's also nothing that says Warren Buffett can claim his dividends are being taxed at a lower rate than his secretary's income.

But you're implicitly agreeing that dividends are being double-taxed. Which makes Warren Buffett a liar.

So ... what's your point about what is allowed or not allowed? If dividends are double-taxed and you're fine with it, that's different than saying dividends are not double-taxed. One is an honest position, the other isn't.

I didn't say anything about "double taxation".

You justified and defended it but you didn't use the word.

and there's nothing that says the rules can't tax the same income more than once.

I though you didn't say anything about double taxation...

Look, anything is legal if you pass a law. I'm saying that imo it's wrong and shouldn't be done.
