Answer: The problem with this question is that it is a "LEADING QUESTION". And leading questions are always undesirable.

Explanation: Leading question are those questions undesirable questions, that prompts or encourages one to give an answer in a particular way.

For someone to ask this question, such person may want to get a harsh reply or an abusive response. Which may help them in their argument. With a full knowledge of the fact that the masses wants a tax cut from the government, he went further to make such a comment as question. The person actually wants a particular way of response, which will definitely help them in wining their argument.
