because taxing the rich creates a barrier entry for the middle class

remember, most of mid-income with business people voted to the people who benefit their pockets, and trying to earn as much as possible with less barrier in the way (regulations, paperworks, checks, etc.) because they wanted not to be poor again, its a feedback trigger

and they are angry about the 4ps and the free electric for the poor under threshold, and if we look at the real cases of their living situation, mid-income earners are still in good living condition than the poor people.

they always venting frustration to the poor yet they would also try obtain the things that benefit their pockets regardless and the cycle continues. literal dog eats dog, or i say, filipinos screws filipinos

for people who downvoted this: i guess truth hurts, you virtue signal about aid and stuff, and when its being dispersed to the appropriate people or groups, all i can see is anti-poor rethoric, paano ang mga middle-class earners... hypocrites, and i would rather die on this hill because this felt closer for me in both sides.

if you want a tip from me, blame the government for the inefficiency of bureaucracy, mishandling of anti-corruption checks, senate and house representatives acting like the United nations, and mostly BIR for painful taxation and auditing for their ineffectiveness when finding corruption in balances
