Do it by reconciliation!

51 Democrats can choose the new tax policy

Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), who plays a key role in GOP tax policy as the ranking member on the House Ways and Means Committee, which handles taxes, “said the GOP will block any proposal that extends tax cuts for the middle class for a longer period than those for the wealthy.” If Democrats insist on a longer period for the middle class cuts, “I think this issue will end up getting kicked into next year,” Camp said.
How do you think we got the tax policy we have now? Do you think it had to have 60 votes in the Senate back in 2001? No it didn't, and in fact, that's exactly why those tax cuts are sun setting on December 31.

Democrats ought to write the new tax policy and pass it with 51 votes in the Senate.   That's all you need.   Just how Gump and Republicans did it 10 years ago.

Grow a fucking pair, Democrats!
