I have not seen an explanation that makes the case for taxes as a good tool for controlling inflation. This is sort of what I mean by the discourse ignoring inflation. We already know what how inflation happens. MMT doesn't bring anything new to the table here.

I've not seen one that is properly based in reason either, most lines of thought in this vein typically use a strawman version of Say's law as the basis, following a deeply carved fallacy in economics from an early error of Keynes.
