10. "and 60+ senators are in the Senate"

You won't even need 60 in the Senate when using the "reconciliation" process, which is how they are proceeding to DO the tax cuts for billionaires right now.

That same process, that only requires a simple majority in the Senate, can REPEAL those tax cuts. The issue would be the "messaging" about that because the GOP will skew it for being "tax increases for everyone" (versus who would actually be targeted).

Maybe there is a need to start calling it "raising revenue to fund (fill in the blank)...".
