Cash is also a kind of property or more technically a "security", and a tax on it would be a "wealth" tax. The progressive vs regressive tax question can be reworded into asking how much freedom or our own wealth should we give up to the government to provide "security"?

I think inflation is the tax on cash as a security. That's what all the cryptocoin people are harping about.
