 Inflation is the most pernicious tax of all. There's no getting around it. Nobody gets a tax break. Nobody gets an inflation break. We're all paying the same ridiculously high prices, and it's hitting the people in the lower end of the socioeconomic scale worse than ever. Worse than ever. And the worst part is they keep lying about it. Oh, it's not that bad. It's transitory. It's no big deal. Oh, I've given people tax cuts. No, you haven't. No, you haven't.
