3. Not unless we can vote ourselves a SPINE through reconciliation.
IOW, ain't gonna happen. Even though we have the power, we don't have the backbone to do what's needed.

4. But consider the kinds of things we could do
Raise the tax rate on income over $200K to 99% and then offer a reduction to 50% as part of a piece of legislation we want passed.

5. Yes, but only for a few years. That's why Bush's tax cuts are expiring
