I daresay that my knowledge of economics is not deficient here. You, on the other hand, seem not to understand that profits from buying and selling BTC is -- by default -- taxed as ordinary income in the US. If and when the IRS decides to tax Bitcoin profits as capital gains, that may or may not actually be an improvement, depending on your current tax bracket.

So what is your complaint again? Please be specific, because you have utterly FAILED to state anything coherent or meaningful here, except to spew partisan rhetoric about "them", whoever "they" are.
