It's funny you try to act all smart by countering a point that wasn't even being made.

All I said was that by definition, in the United States, the income tax is NOT a direct tax.

Oh, and you have it all wrong about the indirect tax. Yes, the sales tax is an indirect tax, but them being "luxury goods" doesn't make it an indirect tax. It just means that it's either (a) taxed on the end user given to a middle man, and then given to the government from the middle man, or (b) it's a tax on a business for a good that ultimately gets added into the price, thus it's an "indirect" tax on the individual.

Plus, you have it mixed up. It's not that they're taxed because they're luxury items. It's that the necessities aren't taxed because they're necessities. The non-taxed items are the exception, not the luxuries.

whoa.
