Manchin’s Inflation Increasing Bill Doubles the Tax on Coal

Joe Manchin‘s inaptly named “Inflation Reduction” bill doubles the tax on coal. He’s supporting changes that double the tax on coal from 50 cents to $1.10. What do his constituents from West Virginia think of that? These are his own people.

In Section 13901, the bill increases the tax per ton on underground mines from 50 cents to $1.10 and on surface mines from 25 cents to 55 cents.

He comes from a coal state! Additionally, it will raise everyone’s electricity.

We are destroying mining, oil drilling, manufacturing. Then we’ll buy all our solar parts from China. This is insane.

This is very curious on Manchin’s part; I wonder what he was promised or how he was intimidated.

My hunch is that he has decided to not run again in 4 years. He lives on a $2 million yacht, I doubt there are oceans in West Virginia.

It’s obvious that Joe Manchin was paid off and don’t plan on running again.

What I can’t understand is Joe Manchin’s approval rating. It was skyrocketing when he was acting like a “Republican”. Why has he gone Wacko?

Many of these politicians are wolves in sheep clothing, playing both ends against the middle. Highly unstable people in all they do, also seen with sometimey and supposed conservative news outlets. NYPost, FOX news, and citizen free press are some of those. Occasionally whatfingernews will post anti-Trump bs along with their multitudes of click-bait and false headlines including annoying and… Read more »

I wonder what the big trade-off was with Manchin?

“bribe money” often wins out to throw any game. Dealing with these pols is like playing a slot machine. Never know if you’ll win or not.
