Inflation is basically a wealth tax. Sort of.

One that hurts poor people more than wealthy - since wages are last to inflate. Additionally, wealthy people are still able to afford necessities during times of high inflation.

Only if the wealth is held as dollars or a depreciating asset. If itβs invested or converted to something of limited supply then it can be inflation proof. Too bad those options are out of reach for the poor.
