Perhaps we could consider what Mankiw says about the effect of higher taxes. http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2008/02/are-taxes-really-distortionary.html Why don't we get the government to setup a tax system that doesn't distort incentives, allows rewards for creating wealth and doesn't create burdens for future generations to carry. Fighting inflation can then be left to the reserve bank and monetary policy while the government fixes the things the reserve bank can't. On suggestion might be to get rid of those taxes that the states didn't when they got GST, removing the payroll tax and stopping punishing companies for creating jobs might be a good one.
