Inflation is caused by increased costs, consumption taxes are one of these costs. I guess we could just give all our money to government but I bet they would still run deficits.

You’re creating a strawman now.  No one said anything about giving all our money to govt or even raising taxes.  Only you did to try and deflect from the topic. 

The point is, and I think you finally agreed, that lowering taxes on things like fuel, is actually an inflationary pressure that would increase inflation.   You claimed to not understand how making something cheaper could cause inflation. I explained how through the citation given.
