What is the Biggest Scam That People Just Accept as Normal?

[BTR1701]

I nominate the MC Escher-level of labyrinthine taxes we just accept because
they tell us to:

You pay taxes on the money you make.

Then also also pay taxes on the money you spend.

And you pay taxes on things you own that you already paid taxes on with
previously-taxed money.

And if you die, you have to pay another round of taxes on all the
previously-taxed money and property you still have left.

If your estate is several million dollars. Exactly how much wealth could
you have from civil service?

If you were open to Georgism, in which zero taxes come from your labor
or your wealth, you'd see the light.
