That's a meaningless claim. They can be compared in many ways. One, for example, is that they are both taxed.

They can also be contrasted: They are taxed in different ways.

But more relevantly, wage income and investment income can be compared and contrasted in the same way. They are also both taxed, and taxed in different ways.

Buying investments and buying products (and, heck, buying products as investments and buying investment products) are all things you can do with your money. They, and the various ways of getting the money to do them with, are all taxable, and all handled in different ways. Picking one pair and calling them a "double tax" is silly and arbitrary.



And what were you referring to here?

Even if I put into stock and it earns zero, when I pull it out it is taxed a second time.
