Taxes are deflationary, which means tax avoidance is inflationary... As are price hikes, gouging and profiteering.

The wealthy, and the wealth disparity causes inflation.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying they're wrong, but you don't need a poll to figure this out. We can pull actual price data.

The poll is showing consumer sentiment, not actual facts.
