“The poor don’t pay any taxes”

That is a myth.

The poor pay sales taxes on anything they buy with their own money.

They also have to pay dozens of fees and taxes depending on what services they use—if they pay for it.

The average poor person probably pays a higher proportion of their income in taxes than the average rich person.

The politicians just want to keep that our little secret.

Of course everyone is paying more.

How else are the FIB and their cohorts going to pay for all those raids, like on Mar A Lago, My Pillow guy, the other Trump supporters, anyone else who dares to disagree with Biden's CCP regime, keeping J-6 people imprisoned without trial..and let's not forget Ukraine- gotta keep those billions rolling in (10% for the big guy) how else could this be paid for?

Then there's all the FIB's benefits and pensions to pay for.

What about the cost of 87,000 agents and arming them, (also their benefits and pensions), not too mention the politicians and their premium benefits and pensions.

The people coming across the borders have to be paid for too.

It's no surprise that taxes are going to be raised.

Now shut up citizen, and go to work-Never mind those homeless Veterans living on the streets, or others forced into homelessness. And ignore that the streets are falling apart too. 😡
