It is simply part of the code now.
I also think that so few people understand the issue that it is ignored. Or, PE/HF money is strong. Either one works.
Is that R's were uniformly against getting rid of it as was Sinema. If the dems had one more vote that likely would have been a pay for in the IRA.
It has survived more than one tax policy fight, so it certainly has staying power.
There is also the possibility that Sinema chose to be the face of the opposition, to give other people in her party coverage. This is pure speculation on my part, but it is not that difficult to imagine such a scenario playing out.
unique brand of maverick where she has adopted policies not supported by large portions of either party but uniquely supported by the libertarian tech types and she has also taken a ton of money from from firms who benefit from the rule.
She envisioned herself as a centrist who would rise to the Presidency and understood she would need deep pockets to do that. I dont think she had any other objective in mind.
Dem aggressive advocacy prior to those elections and total control of both houses and POTUS because Senate Leadership in both cases did not want it to pass or even get brought to a vote or slipped in. And whenever included, it was a sham.
Chuck Schumer as Whip, Minority Leader and Majority Leader will never let it happen. I strongly advocate getting rid of it and my fellow conservatives sadly do not and are up front about it. But they also don't say it should be gone and then do everything possible to hide the fact that they will not let it pass.
