‘We're Going to Make the Rich Pay,’ Joe Manchin Tells Protesters From His Yacht - GMDino - 10-01-2021 https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kvgxe/were-going-to-make-the-rich-pay-joe-manchin-tells-protesters-from-his-yacht Quote:Activists kayaked to Senator Joe Manchin's $700,000 yacht to ask why he wouldn't support the infrastructure bill. RE: ‘We're Going to Make the Rich Pay,’ Joe Manchin Tells Protesters From His Yacht - Goalpost - 10-02-2021 We need a bridge badly here in Cincinnati and it's being held hostage. Money for this type project was approved bipartisan by the Senate. The attack on Manchin is really just a side show because money for bridges, etc are now being linked. He would approve bridges but his party has said, not unless.....so the next best strategy is to smear him.

Manchin knows he has some power and he will wield it. It would be nice if he had legitimate reasons though. RE: ‘We're Going to Make the Rich Pay,’ Joe Manchin Tells Protesters From His Yacht - michaelsean - 10-03-2021 “We need to tax the rich” is such a stupid statement. Even Bill Maher is like “shut up”.

All while saying we can't raise worker's pay because...reasons.

Then say we want to tax the rich more. I may still disagree, but I won’t think you’re (universal) a moron.

Mind you this is a quick search out of curiosity and I don’t like career politicians or the thought of a politician that can afford a yacht on their government salary, but apparently he has millions worth of shares in his pre political business dealings and I think still gets a ton of money from that? I don’t know. I’m sure he makes plenty on the side of political maneuvers like I imagine they all do. If he has a yacht from previous successful business before his work in government I don’t care, but it’s still bad optics.

I think the top 1 percent pay 40 percent of total taxes, and the top 10 percent pay 70 percent of of total taxes.

But that's when hey pay anything at all. Hiding offshore accounts, hiding behind loopholes they created and got passed through congress, etc keeps them from paying less that they even should. And it's all legal. But legal doesn't always equal right. RE: ‘We're Going to Make the Rich Pay,’ Joe Manchin Tells Protesters From His Yacht - Au165 - 10-04-2021 It's actually funny the panama papers and the new pandora papers show that the wealthiest aren't paying their fair share pretty much anywhere in the world they are hiding their money and hoarding it.

But I also find this stat ironic.

But it's ok for his party to say "not unless" if it is their belief they have mandate to fix more than bridges, right? Mancion is tanking his party leader's agenda--the promise which got him elected.

And yet they somehow pay a tremendous percentage of the income tax and a much higher percentage than their percentage of total income. RE: ‘We're Going to Make the Rich Pay,’ Joe Manchin Tells Protesters From His Yacht - CJD - 10-04-2021 I don't know what to call it, but a rich politician assuring people that he'll definitely tax the rich from the cabin of his yacht is just....peak America haha.

I'm gonna just leave this here. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/fact-check-richest-1-dont-pay-40-of-the-taxes.html Quote:One of the sad constants of American political debate is that, anytime the tax rate on the rich is to be either raised or lowered, Republicans will repeat a certain statistic. To wit, “The Stat” is that the highest-earning one percent of taxpayers pay 40 percent of all income taxes. Conservatives consider this fact a dispositive justification either against any proposal to increase taxes on the rich, or in favor of any plan to reduce it. Over just the past day, I have seen it circulating — here, here, here, everywhere.

That was a convoluted way to say I’m right. When we are talking about federal income tax, then that’s what we are talking about. If you are yelling at Joe Manchun about state and local taxes you’re kind of wasting your time. If this guy is misled I don’t know what to say. https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income-tax-data/ RE: ‘We're Going to Make the Rich Pay,’ Joe Manchin Tells Protesters From His Yacht - michaelsean - 10-04-2021 (10-04-2021, 04:49 PM)Crazyjdawg Wrote: I don't know what to call it, but a rich politician assuring people that he'll definitely tax the rich from the cabin of his yacht is just....peak America haha. He’s not exactly alone. I mean he may be the first to say it from a yacht, but there’s a lot of rich people clamoring to tax the rich.
