If you feel you're being dragged down to poverty, you're probably in the bottom 50% of income earners. A group that, as a whole, pays less than 5% of all income taxes.
Two thirds of income taxes are paid by the top 10% of income earners - and they're definitely not being dragged down to poverty. If anything, their share of total income is actually growing.
So if you're struggling, stop blaming others. The only way to have to pay more than what could be argued is more than your fair share is to be one of the top earners. If you're not among those, others are picking up your tab already.
In a way, it's funny how people like you always whine and bitch. It's never your own fault. If you were on welfare, you'd be whining about immigrants taking your job. If you were among the top earners, you'd be whining about the lower and middle classes not paying their fair share.
Want to avoid being dragged to poverty? Quit whining and start working harder.
