How many times do you tax me?

It's disheartening to believe that when someone's salary is deposited into his bank account, the bank will as usual tell me that they do not have cash.
I am left with no alternative than to transfer the money to my ecocash account.
I am taxed 2 cents per dollar. Then if I decide to sent that same money to my parents back home it is again taxed in the transfer.
If my parents decide to pay school fees for my kids either by swipe or ecocash as is the norm nowadays that same money is taxed again.
This is not fair. High taxation was one of the reasons why Chimurenga was fought.
