This also applies to Canada's Liberals. The reasons the Democrats and Liberals do not do basic and very popular stuff like this are:

1. They're hopelessly corrupt, and
2. By not doing what people want, they can use it as an election issue year after year.

"Oh hey look it was literally always that simple to fund basic public services. What the fuck were you doing for 50 years, Democrats?"
