I'd agree a lot if such a concept was bound to/corrected for buying power evaporating - what do you "earn" if you sell something for a profit of 10% of base amount of $ but buying power of the $ eroded 7% in the time between buying and selling ? The reduced tax on capital income makes sense in my book (as far as such a thing can be said for tax codes). It might give also more of an incentive not to buy that much on credit - where a compromize between US and german habits might be the proper way to handle money ;-)
