Reminder that the 2/3 to raise taxes law is stupid.

Yep.
While we are at it why not we require a 2/3 to cut taxes to be fair?
*conservative Republicans go insane upon hearing this*

Same reason I hate balanced budget amendments. It's practically enshrining Republican economic policy into stone tablets.

My post was mainly satirical, but thanks for the through answer.

Because most people would consider a tax cut a good thing and raising taxes to be a bad thing?

There is nothing inheritly evil about a tax increase, or a tax cut. Reducing federal tax revenue is a morally neutral concept.

Well I didn't necessarily disagree, I just provided insight into why a bunch of representatives elected by a bunch of people would never go for a two-thirds threshold for lowering taxes.

To be fair, I was satirizing the idea of a two-thirds requirement for cutting taxes. It was never a serious suggestion, placing the same requirement on tax cuts. It would be a terrible one as well. Increases and decreases in tax levels should be treated the same in this order of things.
