Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “shot down President Biden’s new plan to raise $360 billion in revenue by imposing a 20 percent minimum tax on billionaires,” The Hill reports.
Manchin said he doesn’t support taxing unrealized gains: “You can’t tax something that’s not earned. Earned income is what we’re based on.”
But he added: “There’s other ways to do it. Everybody has to pay their fair share.”

... mines that were closed long ago and Joe and his family own that gob coal too. The Grant Town
power plant is less efficient so Joe & friends got a rate hike on the electricity produced by that plant*
(of which the Manchins get a cut of), the plant produces more mercury air pollution then other coal
plants, more SO2 then other coal power plants, Joe got the air pollution limits waved on the Grant
Town plant, the plant should have been closed a few years ago because it costs more than other ways
to produce electricity along with killing the planet but Joe stopped that, and all the while Joe has been
working to kill green energy to protect the fossil fuel industry.
And all the time Joe's son, Joe Manchin the 4th sits in his office in Fairview W.V. and counts the millions.
BTW W.V.'s other senator is the daughter of former governor Arch Moore. And she is dirty too.
* forcing the people of W.V. to pay more for their electricity.

article ... Joe and his family get 1% of all the electricity sold by that one dirty power plant.
