For the longest time I thought that when you bought something, and had to pay tax on it, that that particular object was added to some sort of inventory of all of the things you owned and that from that point on, you would have to pay yearly taxes on that object. For that reason I was always very frugal with what toys I asked my parents for because I didn't want them to have to pay taxes on it forever.
