> If Republicans want to pass any actual tax cuts, that's another opportunity. I didn't claim Democrats have absolute power, but they do have some.

The Republicans don't need 60 votes in the Senate to pass tax cuts. They only need a simple majority, which they have.

You're crying that Democrats won't do anything, when they do not have the power to stop this. You're in need of some education about how the government works.
