[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 554682, member: 52914"] Double taxation isn't illegal. Find where the US Constitution says it's illegal. Find the Federal Law where it says it's illegal. Find a State Law where it says it's illegal. Oh wait....you can't, because it's not. Technically or litterally, it's not illegal. ..."The Taxpayer disputes the assessment at issue on the basis that it amounts to double taxation, which the Taxpayer believes is prohibited. It is a popular misconception that there is something inherently illegal or unconstitutional with double taxation. As noted by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in Ft. Smith Lumber Co. v. Arkansas, 251 U.S. 532 (1920), the U.S. Constitution "no more forbids double taxation than it does doubling the amount of a tax." Although there is nothing inherently illegal with double taxation.most tax policy makers, such as state legislatures and Congress, recognize that from a tax policy standpoint, double taxation is objectionable because it is perceived to be unfair"... But of course, what does a Supreme Court Justice know about laws or the Constitution? [/QUOTE]
