Inflation is absolutely not a wealth tax. You should spend some more time understanding the impact of inflation and I suspect you will come to the opposite conclusion and that it is a tax on the poor.

I agree that inflation hurts the poor which is the mechanism that exasperates the wealth inequality. But inflation coupled with capital gains tax becomes a wealth tax.
