Easy, because they don't believe they ARE going to be better off. Because they have been systematically fed falsehoods on this issue for several years now, and every time one is discovered a new lie is cooked up in record time and served up to take its place. Because the scientists have their snouts in the trough for the first time in decades, and they're not going to relinquish their position in a hurry, so we can expect to hear a lot more lies before it happens.
And because taxes in general are bad. They hamper the economy and reduce choice. They pass our money through the hands of people who have already demonstrated their total incompetence to handle it.
Like they say about diamonds: paying for a tax is forever.
