With 15% of the nation's population represented by over half of the Senate you still aren't happy with your odds of having your way? How much of an advantage is enough to allow you to run roughshod over the country with a failed ideology that is being rejected by an increasing number of voters? The last time I checked, tax bills were under the authority of the people's Congress, which should be sufficient to align them with the smidgen of democracy left in this country. I'm sure your next move will be the balanced budget amendment, which would tie nicely into this to destroy the federal government you hate so much.
