Money is circulating, thus the concept of taxing it only once seems a bit silly. We could argue endlessly who is really paying which taxes. E.g. if you tax income you are really just obscuring the fact that you are taxing the company who is paying this income, but the company will rise prices accordingly, so it's actually a hidden tax on consumption, etc.
