Manchin on Bungling Biden's Tax: 'You Can't Tax Something That's Not Earned Yet.'
GROPIN' JOE PREFERS MINORS TO MINERS
West Virginia's Joe Manchin keeps saying out loud the parts that Bungling Biden would rather keep quiet.
Thanks to election cheating,
DEMOCRATS hold exactly 50 seats in the Senate, and thus need every
DEMOCRAT senator to pass a party-line vote; Joe Manchin, the Senate's most centrist
DEMOCRAT, has consistently resisted.
But the problem is not only that Manchin is withholding his vote. It's that Manchin keeps bluntly and accurately describing the problems with bungling Biden's putrid policy proposals in public.
Take, for example, bungling Biden's recently proposed tax scheme, disingenuously dubbed the 'Billionaire Minimum Income Tax', which taxes realized and unrealized gains.
Under this slimy scheme, non-cash holdings could be taxed based on an assessed change in value.
So a home or property that increased in value but was not sold would generate a federal tax obligation, even though the owner saw no money from the increase.
The usurper's illegitimate regime has dubiously described the tyrannical tax as "a prepayment of tax obligations these households will owe when they later realize their gains."
This is a stretch at best, an intentional abuse of language for political reasons at worst.
But when asked about the plan yesterday, Manchin engaged in no such obfuscation.
"You can't tax something that's not earned yet. Earned income is what we're based on," he told
The Hill.
Manchin's underlying point is quite clear. The bungling Biden brain trust is proposing taxing income that is not income.
The preposterous proposal treats money that has not been earned, but might hypothetically be earned at some future point, as money that an individual already possesses.
It's an attempt to tax money that people haven't made, and might not make at all.
Manchin has made admirably direct statements like this all throughout bungling Biden's illegitimate Reign of Error, frustrating the bungling Biden agenda in the process.
Good for him.
