Biden is performing theater about doing that. When was the last time dems actually managed a significant wealth tax? LOL
It is pure theater. If anything like that ever got close to passing, and the paid actors Sinema snd Mansion weren't enough, then they'd just pick another actor or two so the dems could pretend they really wanted to but no matter how much power they have its not possible to actually DO something.
The fact that it's nearly impossible to get liberal policies past a Senate where representation is heavily skewed in favor of Republicans does not equate to a conspiracy that the tiny margins Democrats are still sometimes able to eek out are then intentionally sabotaged. That's some conspiratorial BS. The simple fact is that Dems are playing a rigged game and always have been. Both-sidesing the parties when one of those parties is full of literal Nazis is simply ignorant and requires a lot of mental gymnastics and outright ignorance to get onboard with.
The helpless dems excuse has been used by apologists for the past 50+ years of failure to do anything!
