Not quite.  While the earnings in the IRA are certainly taxable, so
are the contributions if you received a deduction for making them.  If
some of your contributions were non-deductible, you have to pro-rate
them coming out.  You do not pay a double tax on non-deductible
contributions, but you can't take them out first.  See Form 8606.
