How can they justify taxing the lowest earners 25% when our peers charge just 20%? People barely scraping by shouldn’t be the ones footing the bill while everyone else pays less—it’s not just unfair, it’s downright cruel when they’re already struggling to put food on the table. We didn’t elect them to punish hard work, we demanded they bring this tax down to at least 20%, like it should be.
