There is currently a Republican-sponsored bill to eliminate the tax.
It takes a significant majority in both the House and the Senate to pass contested proposals. Two-thirds, if the president is of the other party. Sometimes two-thirds in the Senate to overcome filibuster.
A minority of the US population has an oversized impact in the Senate. Plus, the southern Congressional members have overwhelmingly returned to civil war era policies.
