Raising Interest Rates because people are making more money

This logic makes no sense, although widely used in economics. A distinction must be made between good inflation and bad inflation. People earning more money is a good thing and the inflation that it causes allows for additional profits and increased competition. Bad inflation such as a shortage of resources or an oil embargo is nowhere to be found, so why raise rates. It’s like the fed just wants to screw the little guy.
