They’d be able to make more than they’re making if taxes were less. In effect, their employer would share the additional after-tax income.
Job prospects would be better. More promotion opportunities, less layoffs, etc. Also, more vacation time, sick leave, etc would be available.
Just about everything bad that happens economically can be linked to higher taxes.
Prices for everything would be lower.
I’m not defending these views, but this is just what some people believe, and it explains their voting actions. I used to be one such person and I still live among people who see taxes like this. Blame Fox, radio, and similar outlets for spreading misinformation

we’ve past that point. We don’t need to ask anymore, really. FWIW, I blame the sabotages public education
Public education and cognitive dissonance.
These people realize there’s a problem but they’d rather believe the bullshit their side spews than accept reality
the haven’t made enough money yet, it’s that simple.
No need to ask that when you’ve been paying attention for 16+ years.
