This is a tricky question, as the answer will depend on a variety of factors, including the amount of the dollar, the tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction, and the types of transactions that occur along the way. In general, however, it is unlikely that a dollar would pass through enough hands for taxes to exceed its value.
For example, let's say that the tax rate in a particular jurisdiction is 10%, and a dollar is spent by a consumer at a retail store. The retailer will then pay 10 cents in taxes on that dollar. If the retailer then spends that dollar on goods or services, the next business will also pay 10 cents in taxes, and so on. However, even if the dollar passed through 10 businesses in this way, the total taxes paid would only be $0.19, which is still less than the value of the original dollar.
Of course, this is a simplification of the actual tax system, and there may be additional taxes or fees that are applied at various points in the transaction chain. However, it is still unlikely that taxes would exceed the value of a dollar in this way.
