 Yeah, but what is the rational behind capital gain? That the government facilitated the capital gain?

Maybe they did by printing more money 🤣

 You pay taxes on regular income too. It's presumably because the government creates the rules, regulates the industries, and enforces the laws to allow you to profit.
