Government has no other option but to raise taxes in order to increase their revenue, they are bailing out people affected and that is coming from their budget, and I don't think government would increase taxes without consider all the necessary factors before making a decision.
But the government can raise their taxes step by step, so people are not worried if they can not pay the taxes. It will need wisdom from the government to think about their people, so their people can still pay the taxes, and people will not make an objection with the new regulation from the government. I think if there is a discussion between the government and the people, the problem will be solved, and their people could still pay the taxes.
