Three-Fifths Majority for Tax Increases

A proposed constitutional amendment would require any new tax or tax rate increase to pass with a three-fifths majority in both houses of Congress. This change would make it significantly harder to raise taxes, potentially impacting personal finances and government spending.
Key points
Tax increases would require a higher threshold of approval (3/5 majority) in Congress, making them more difficult to pass.
All votes on tax increases would be publicly recorded, showing how each member voted.
