Yes but that is because taxes are incoherent and abhorrent

Why do we tax realized capital gains at all and why based on the ruler of fiat which is controlled by those who tax (they keep making the ruler shorter)

If the goal is to creat drag on multiplicative dynamics then do so coherently

Tax should make sense at least in core targets. Yet there are no core targets.

Because realized capital gains are income and we tax income.
