So hold up. Something just occurred to me...
Our monetary system REQUIRES inflation which steals value for the currency we already earned by making those dollars buy less.
Further government / the central bank decides to cause MORE inflation, stealing even more value from you.
So after they steal value out of what you already earned and have, they tell you that the assets that you hold have 'gained value' because they're 'worth' more dollars, since they made dollars worth less...
So if you sell those assets, then you must PAY that same government 'capital gains' tax on those assets!?!?!
