The grandparent did not say that inflation is dishonest. He said that the political class is dishonest, because they do take money out of the taxpayer's pocket via inflation. Presumably the grandparent sees this conduct as more dishonest than what was discussed earlier, because it does not require a accompanying public statement, which states explicitly that money is taken out of taxpayer's pockets.
