Dems try and help the poor when possible but are always obstructed by the Republicans . The Republicans tell them to go fuck themselves and do all they can to push a carrot stick for the rich cattle prod for the poor mentality . Tax breaks are bread and circus the whole economic system needs reform .

Unless I'm mistaken, they would need 60 Senators for such a bill to be filibuster proof, and even then, they can't afford to lose a single Senator. The Democratic Party is more united than the Republican party, but it's not that united.
Getting any legislation passed is difficult. Even when the Dems had 60 Senators and passed Obamacare, they had to bend over backwards to insurance companies and Republicans while the bill was being written, as well as the more right-wing members of their own party. The final Obamacare bill was a watered down version of the original as a result.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
