Of course there is - since holding any dollar denominated wealth is entirely voluntary.

Why do people find it necessary to engage in such ridiculous hyperbole, when they might make an entirely sound economic argument in a perfectly moderate way? What is the attraction of such comically paranoid extremism? It is just absurd.

And holding non-dollar denominated wealth is taxable even if you only succeed in preserving purchasing power.

Because outrage is what decent people feel when are they mistreated.
