There hasn't been a single piece of legislation raising taxes on the working poor. Reducing benefits is not a tax hike. And even if that's how you want to define tax burden: the sum of all benefits minus taxes owed, the average [working poor] family of 4 walks away with a tax burden of -$7500. And if you want to be really obtuse and use sales tax, expanding welfare programs will lead to even greater inflation which hurts ALICE families the hardest. You could reduce benefits for the working poor by $4000/yr and they would still walk away with a $3500 subsidy.
You're simply spouting nonsense with exactly zero nuance to address who should pay how many taxes and why. You can raise taxes as much as you'd like, but so long as our inflated tax code allows the richest of Americans to completely bypass their fair share it will be completely pointless. Maybe write to your Democratic senator and ask them why they don't change the tax code, because they take all the same tricks that are available too.
