Government and its people won't agree to one thing if it's all about taxes. Not all have the same way of earning their money but all of them should pay the same amount of taxes. If you earn more than enough then I think you won't bother if they increase the tax but if you only earn enough or even less then you would oppose the government.
In my opinion, a few things that make people reluctant to pay taxes are because these taxes are not used 100% according to the target. So that many people become disappointed, and feel that it is useless for them to have to pay taxes which is likely to be corrupted by unscrupulous powerful people. Whereas taxes should be used by the government to fund projects and public services.
Maybe if the target of the tax collection is 100% used properly, then many people would willingly pay taxes, especially if the goal is to help the Covid problem.
