That’s because tax increases are politically toxic. They talk a good game but when it comes right down to it are reluctant to pull the trigger.Why do Dems act like they're against tax cuts? Remember the Bush tax cuts? Obama and the Dems railed against them, calling them "the most destructive thing Bush ever did to the country". Then he got elected, had every vote needed to end them, and what did he do? He continued them.
Kind of like abortion…R’s could rail against for years but had Roe to hide behind.
The sc tossed roe and they were politically screwed.
