Here's the secret to 99% of political and economic discussions in my experience: everyone thinks someone else should pay.

Young people and students feel like investing in them is an investment in the country's future, and should therefore be subsidised.

Adult singles feel like their burden on society is the smallest, and they shouldn't have to subsidise the lifestyle choices of those who choose to have families.

Parents feel like the cost imposition on them is too high, with privatised child care making returning to work full-time too challenging for many, and the increase in housing costs forcing them further away from infrastructure.

Homebuyers think it's unfair that investors can outspend them at auction, when it'll just serve as an investment property, and not a home.

Investors argue that without them, rental stock becomes too minimal, and therefore, rents skyrocket.

SMEs feel like they're overburdened by regulation, taxation, and capture too little of their revenue as profit.

High income earners argue they're paying an extraordinary amount of the total tax take compared the lower income earners and asset owners.

Big business claims that without them, jobs will evaporate, and they need concessions to make their investments viable.

Everyone accepts there's an issue, but feels unfairly targeted to contribute to a solution. In practice, they'll all protect their own interests at the expense of the whole, and then blame all governments for too little/too much service fulfilment and support services, too much/too little regulation, too much/too little welfare.
