Think the point they are making is the repeated taxation is semi-ridiculous.

1. Work a job and pay income tax 2. Invest remaining income, capital gains are taxes when liquidated. 3. Buy a car with the remaining gains, pay sales and property tax 4. Sell car, pay sales tax again 5. Reinvest money, earn gains, pay taxes on them 6. Repeat

The same money just keeps getting taxes. His point is that the money should be taxed once and only once.
