Now that prices are up and salaries are somehow up, but (income) tax rates stay the same. Does that mean the government are taxing more for all of us?

Hmm.

Seems like if everything costs more, and you get paid more, the things the government purchases probably cost more too, so the tax rate should be the same right?

Tax brackets and standard deductions are indexed to inflation.
