🚨 Bingo nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ! People wonder why government rules feel like they’re squeezing us tighter every year? It’s INFLATION EROSION! Policies set with fixed $$ amounts—like Trump’s proposed $600 crypto exemption—get totally skewed over time. Without auto-adjustments, they hit WAY more people than intended. 😤💸

Remember the original 1913 income tax brackets? Started at $3k exemption with top rate 7% over $500k. But no inflation indexing meant “bracket creep”—folks pushed into higher taxes just from rising prices, not real wealth gains. Middle class got hammered! 📈🚫

Same BS with the $10k cash rule from 1970. Travel or transact over that? Report it! But $10k back then = ~$80k today. Now it snags everyday stuff, invading privacy & adding red tape. Pure policy drift! ✈️💼

For crypto: That $600 de minimis could shrink to peanuts in real value fast, killing innovation. Lesson from econ history? INDEX EVERYTHING to CPI from day one! No more stealth taxes.
