Find an argument. You still haven't even managed to allege a single way in which I can involuntarily have my pocket picked, just because the value of US dollars declines over some span of time. Can't you even make anything up?

After you come up with the way it will supposedly pick my pocket, I will explain how to get out of the way of that alleged mechanism, and thereby demonstrate that vulnerability to inflation is voluntary.

Yes, we all know that there are hedging strategies against this. But hedging strategies cannot work on average. So the folks who spend their time worrying about the best heding strategies like inflation because they benefit at the expense of others.

BTW inflation is personally very good for me because the value of my house has skyrocketed literally. But that doesn't mean I think that I came by the gain in a morally sound fashion. I came by it through hard work sitting on my floor drinking beer making sure no one came to cart it off.
