Should the unemployed kill themselves to enable lower taxes?

Funny thing is the capitalist system relies on a minimum level of unemployment to keep wages and inflation down, and hence profits up and prices down. 4% unemployment as about as low as a capitalist system can go without putting significant upward pressure on wages, and with upward pressure on wages is upward pressure on inflation. Inflation is a much more insidious erosion of wealth than taxes, because in general the taxation % remains pretty stable (in stable economic conditions) but inflation continually, irrevocably and inexorably diminishes your purchasing power. And inflation reduces profitability.

People who bleat about taxes haven't got a clue. Its inflation that gets you in the end. It's inflation that means your retirement savings plan is never worth what you think it will be worth. It's inflation that means you can't afford as much stuff this year as you could last year (assuming you've kept your job and same rate of pay). It's inflation that means your power bill keeps going up. All the while taxes remain the same year on year on year. Every extra dollar you earn may only mean another 60c in your pocket after income tax, but next year that 60c will only get you what 57c buys you this year, and the year after that it's only gonna get you 54c worth of stuff.

So killing off the unemployed won't do much to your taxes, but it'll make inflation spiral out of control. That will surely make those who are working and paying a tiny bit less tax poorer in real terms.
