Inflation is tax. You pay tax that goes to asset holders.

Why?

Price is defined by the supply and demand. We can say the following equation:

Price = Amount of money / amount of products

If we increase the amount of money, price goes up. Price goes up, it is inflation.

Therefore

inflation == increase in the amount of money

This has 2 meanings.

If prices go up and you OWN house, your house worth more, so you have more money.

If prices go up, and you want to BUY something, it costs you more money.

So inflation does nothing then moving money from BUYers to OWNers.
