The government is clever, they have learned from history that if you tax the people directly, you will have a situation similar to France right now. However through inflation, the government can steal from the people without them knowing. It like comparing a mugger (taxes) to a pickpocket (inflation). The former is an obvious criminal so you know to defend yourself, the latter stole your money without you noticing.

Comparing inflation to "hidden taxes" is a great comparison @snoreball
