Party representation on committees is vital in representing opposing views. Imagine what it would be like if only one party was on a committee... everything would be one-sided.
Also, the majority party controls the majority of each committee and gets to chair it. This also influences the outcome.

Party representation in all committees greatly extends the sitting presidents influence and control in the federal legislative process.If each committee is predominantly the same party as the president, his reach into what legislation reaches the floor and what legislation doesn't is what primarily becomes law later on as well as defining the direction our nation will go in both domestically and globally.

3/5 = 60% which is less than 2/3 or 67%. So lowering the required vote from 2/3 to 3/5 would make it easier for legislators to push tax increases through. This would allow legislators to raise taxes with less support.
