At one point in time and at one location. At different places in the US, 1 USD can purchase more or less. So on the internet, the purchasing power of the dollar is fairly nebulous. So, I agree, but with more nitpickiness.


Yeah, capital gains are not adjusted for purchasing power parity within a country otherwise it'd be difficult to do business in both high and low PPP regions like SF vs the midwest.


Again, you don't pay taxes in terms of purchasing power.

You pay taxes in terms of USD.
