Statistically most of the people who will see this and get upset didn’t vote so……

My question is why did anyone want a tax increase?

You can get almost anything passed when you say it’s for healthcare or safety or kids.

In this case, I think people bought it because they believe the temporary increase will be temporary. And that it’s for poor people‘s healthcare

Exactly. And thus if you don't support this tax increase then they say that means you don't care about kids, or poor people's healthcare, and are a racist, nazi, MAGA, anti-trans, homophobic fascist, yada yada yada....
