HAHAHA, fucking hilarious! Man, you got it backwards here... Inflation means consumer prices rise and, to some extent, the wages follow. So basically the amount of taxable dollars, in absolute numbers, would grow. Therefore the amount of dollars paid in taxes would grow as well. Why the fuck would you increase tax rate just because of inflation rising?!? That would put an even faster spin on inflation... Stick to coding postbots.
