There already is a de facto tax on wealth, inflation.
- Houshalter 13y agoOnly a tax on holding currency, not wealth in general (assets and investments.) And many people argue that is just as bad.
- dllthomas 13y agoInflation itself is a tax on holding currency or currency-denominated assets, and that's certainly an important point. The combination of inflation and a capital gains tax would seem to produce an implicit tax on wealth in general, right?
- pcrh 13y agoHolding currency and also bonds. Property and shares are pseudo-index-linked, though, I grant you that.
- iopq 13y agoHow much are my stocks inflating?
