This has to be the biggest joke in existence, they’re finally going to get the rich guys! After income taxes, corporate taxes, business taxes, social security taxes, Medicare taxes, and estate taxes all did the opposite of tax the rich, this one will totally not be used to take every penny from you!

In a fucked up way, taxes fight inflation.
Current inflation happens because the supply chain is fucked. Thus demand outstrips supply which leads to inflation. If governments raise taxes, citizens cannot afford as much and demand goes down. Plus, free money for the government.
Sure it fucks over the people but who gives a shit about them?
I'm going to argue what we're seeing isn't inflation rather than the devaluing of the US Dollar thanks to the money printer going BRRRRRRR....
But to the average person the effect is the same. It takes more dollars to buy things.
