Et Tu Manchin

Another piece of meaningless legislation is working its way through Congress, purported to reduce the deficit and save the planet, including increasing the number of IRS auditors to go after “tax cheats.”   Now that’s ironic. What, we aren’t squeezing enough out of the working class? You know, that 62% of the available workforce that actually chooses to participate? The lowest participation rate in history, incidentally. Well done, Senator Manchin. What happened to your mantra about not increasing taxation and expenditure during a recession?  And after all your political grandstanding, your capitulation comes after a closed-door meeting with the devil himself, none other than Chuckie Schumer. Hmm. What dirt does Chuck have on you, or more likely, what prize have you been offered?  Double standards and backroom deals with no regard for the working American. That is the new America. It’s disgraceful.
