When they save and invest, what do you think happens to that investment eventually? It's converted back into cash and spent, donated, or bequeathed. The fact that there's an intermediate step of investment is irrelevant to the fact that lifetime ingress of value equals lifetime egress of value.

Technically speaking, I guess maybe over the course of the rise and fall of a society what you're saying is true, but I don't think the government would want to wait that long to see some tax revenue.
