    He was president and the Dems had congressional majorities for some of the time. If they really wanted to significantly overhaul the tax code, they could have.

    They want to PRETEND that they’re on the side of the people against the billionaires to fool the gullible into thinking that they’re the good guys rather than the least bad ones, but they know who pays them and it ain’t you…

      The senate was a 50:50 deadlock unable to pass anything without Republicans agreeing or they faced filibuster, and even then they needed all 48/47 DNC and independents to vote in unison if none of the Republicans crossed the isle, then utilize VP tiebreaker.

      The house was a DNC majority for only his first two years.

      And as I explained to you multiple times, the tax plan did not expire under Biden’s presidency.
