Has Joe M gotten the Xmas spirit??? 'Bout time if he has.



Sen. Joe Manchin told the White House last week that he supported imposing some sort of wealth tax on billionaires, despite criticizing the idea two months ago, The Washington Post reported.

Manchin said he would support such a tax as part of President Joe Biden's Build Back Better economic program, The Post reported, citing three people familiar with the discussions.
 
He's not the brightest bulb.
 
Notice how Manchin is the bad boogy man now that he won't go along with the wacky left.
They are out to damage him when ever and how ever. Thanks for stopping crazy legislation Senator Manchin.

If I recall he's actually a fan of increasing corporate tax rates to reduce deficit but there is adamant opposition to that very idea from Sinema so Biden ends up between a rock and a hard place trying to raise the revenue Manchin wants to keep the deficit down, when the only method Manchin and progressives agree to use to get that revenue, lose the other necessary vote to keep the 51 votes. In many ways I far prefer Manchin to that Arizona 'maverick' because Manchin thinks like an old school predictable conservative Dem who really has not changed his spots. Sinema has moved from a green party progressive to this republican corporate stooge at warp speed. I don't recognise her at all.

I didn't want to say it, but yeah.

There's another explanation for inconsistency though. He never plans to run again, and he's just messing with Schumer for no particular reason.

So you're from West Virginia then? :LOL:

I drove through West Virginia once to pick up some live brook trout in Virginia. The poverty I saw was staggering.

He's just trying to stay relevant. After he said "no" everyone stopped talking to him.
