Also, people who are gaining wealth aren't missing potential returns because of taxes or inflation, they're just forgetting to factor the benefits they receive against the cost. The world is losing wealth overall, so if anyone is gaining wealth it's by using taxes and inflation to take it from everyone else faster than it shrinks overall; you cannot be one of the people losing money on taxes and inflation without being one of the people losing money, period.

Rich people are butthurt their profits are slowing down because of their ever-increasing debt, so they blame taxes and inflation, but reality doesn't magically match whatever is said by the rich.
