Caring for parents and grandparents, paying off college loans and servicing a mortgage are all tax-deductible activities. I'm not saying it isn't hard to make ends meet with all those obligations, but a tax hike would disproportionately affect his _discretionary_ income, not income that ends up being spent on caring for others or paying off student debt.
