Play Money- Taxes on Virtual items

I am kind of drawn on how I feel about taxing virtual items. I feel as if people are making profit off of selling virtual things than they should be taxed because everyone else is taked when they make a living. Another part of me thinks that there shouldn't be tax on virtual items because these items don't actually exist. I feel it is almost bad enough that someone is paying real money for a nontangible thing but then to turn around and get taxed on those items it's even worse. I never really understood the point of paying real money for virtual things but I guess if someone is really interested in getting ahead of the game in a video game than he or she will go to whatever limits to do so. I just don't know if I feel it is right to tax someone on something that they will not be recieving in real life, but then again I don't agree with taxes at all so it could be a biased opinion. I guess I may feel as if it is only fair for our government to tax these items because if they are in need of the money for more important issues, it is only fair that they tax these items if their going to tax tangible items also. I don't know, when it comes to these issues I have mixed feelings.
