So, a manufacturer sells to a distributor. Transaction is taxed. Distributor sells to a wholesaler - likewise. Wholesaler sells to retailer - likewise. Retailer sells to consumer - likewise. Consumer sells at a garage sale - likewise.
I count 5 times the same item is taxed. That's B.S.

We have a Republican Women’s group in Texas (PAC) which periodically holds fundraiser. Items we sell at auction are all donated, most of them by members who purchase them out of their own pocket and pay tax at the time of purchase. As an organization, we also have to pay sales tax on whatever we make from the auction of the items again to the State of Texas. So all is not quite so rosy even here! I agree - it is B.S.
