In particular, the market value of real estate has enjoyed a general rise over the past 10 years in various sections of the country, leading many individuals to the assumption that values there always keep pace with or exceed the current rate of inflation. Someone who recently sold his bog for a housing development or a shopping center has had the dubious pleasure of learning all about capital gains taxes, but there have been few owners of AT&T or who have recently enjoyed such capital delights.
