What does I absolutely do mean?

Only on realized increases.

You are leaving out the increase in wealth. Which is not really taxed.

I absolutely do. But I imagine it has nothing to do with why you think I do. I would say would are going to have a very hard time wrapping your head around it. Having listened to the propaganda for so long. We'll see. I have been dreaming of this moment for 30 years.
