No, he acts like it is reality.  It's like discussing death with
somebody - just because you acknowledge that everyone dies eventually,
does not make death a "good thing".  Similarly, acknowledging the fact
that money is taxed over and over and over again as it circulates
around the economy does not mean it is a "good thing", it just means
that arguments that say "You can't charge tax on _that_, because the
money has been taxed already!" are fallacious.

Bob, I have just had a bunch of old posts show up this afternoon ... they 
are all from recpoker.  Have you (or anyone else) had a bunch of posts
just 
show up that are old?

On the point about multiple taxation, I disagree.  The argument is not
that 
you "can't" double or triple or worse tax money as it circulates ... it is

that such "reality" is a "bad thing" not a good thing.

Taxes should be open and obvious and not hidden in holes.  Every citizen 
should pay taxes if they would like to vote.  The easiest solution is that

everyone gets to vote their taxes ... weighted by now much each pays. 
This 
one person one vote stuff will eventually kill us.
