If he’s actually talking about working class / poor people, their taxes really aren’t very high.
When you’re working 60 hour weeks at $20 an hour to gross $4,800 a month but your take home pay $3,300 it feels pretty high.
…and then he goes on to complain about welfare…
He complains about welfare abuse, not welfare itself. It’s a key distinction.
…complains about obesity
I don’t hear it that way at all.
You’re also skipping over all of the other messages in the lyrics to hyperfocus on the one you disagree with so that you can dismiss the whole thing. Where are you on the mental health crisis, corrupt politicians, and holding the lower class down? Because those messages are ALSO in there.
Is there a single line in his song where he clarifies that he only cares about welfare abuse and that most people getting welfare are just fine? As far as I can tell, his only mention of welfare is in the context of welfare abuse – which is really only a small problem, but is consistently blown out of proportion by right-wingers who want people to blame poor people for their problems, not rich people.

The stuff I’m talking about takes up more than half the song, unless you count the repeated chorus. Corrupt politicians? Do you mean the conspiracy theory that most of them are having sex with minors? Because yep, he went there too.
