If it gets sold 10 more times, 10 more poor bastards are paying it again. Lame AF

I don't think I swing in any particular direction on the Montana deal. I get both sides. But THIS is something I have never understood. A $100k vehicle sells and is taxed. Okay, I get it. But the original owner sells it in a private sale to another individual for $75k. The new owner now needs to pay the same sales tax against $75k. Assuming a 7% sales tax (like here), they have now collected 12%+ worth of sales taxes against a $100k vehicle.
I buy a new Playstation. I pay my sales tax. I'm done playing video games and sell it on Craigslist - no one is collecting sales tax for that transaction. I'm not advocating to tax these other private sales, just proving a point...
Anyway, back to the Montana bickering...
