The key, once again, is your good friend Joe Manchin. But Manchin has been surprisingly pliable regarding these progressive proposals that Biden is tossing around.

I'm pretty sure this kind of vote doesn't require 60 votes since it involves the budget.

It's all very doable. So yes, what is required is the will to carry it out. He'll compromise a little on the upper rate, but that's ok. I'm not going to complain if they settle on the 35% that the capital gains tax was in the 1970s.
