• Is there a way to avoid the precious metals tax paradox?

  • The government imposes heavy taxes on John's "gains".
  • The paradox - whether or not John invests in PM's, the government takes a vast portion of his wealth. The more "gains" John accumulates, the more real wealth he loses via taxes on phantom wealth.
