The problem with inflation in prizes is that some companies do not follow it with inflation in salaries.

if companies increase the prices, then increasing the salaries cancels out of the price increase.

It's like a room with 10 adults and 20 phones, every adult can get 2 phones, then inflation man brings 10 adults into a room decreasing everyone's entitlement to 1 phone each.

The the company adds 10 adults and then 10 phones, it means that every one still gets the same reduced amount of phones: 1.

Your comparison is really strange, and I didn't say that the salary increase was too be equal to the price increase.

I was not going against capitalism and increasing benefits in that comment, just for some equality. After all if no one can pay the increased prices the system crashes too.
