Inflation Reduction Act

Democrats rely on misleading messaging to sell Manchin-Schumer bill



According to a December analysis by the Tax Foundation, the most economically damaging provision in the bill that survived the arduous negotiation process is the 15% "corporate alternative minimum tax," which requires businesses with profits over $1 billion to pay a minimum tax rate of 15%.

The minimum tax alone will reduce GDP by 0.1 percent and cost about 27,000 jobs, the Tax Foundation projects. The minimum tax will deal the biggest blow to coal workers, levying a net tax hike of 7.2% on the coal industry’s pretax book income, according to a November analysis by the foundation. The second-hardest hit by the tax, according to the study, is the automobile and truck manufacturing industries, which face a 5.1 percent tax hike, the study said.

How does Joe Manchin sell this to West Virginia?

UAW gonna back this deal?

UAW will back it, those leaders will get paid to support it.
 
Yep! Thea average person will get audited a lot more I would bet. If you do get audited, just make sure and remember which party pushed this when you go to the voting booth.

Party affiliations won’t matter, the middle class will get pummeled because it costs to much to fight the IRS and they know it.
Party affiliations matter when Democrats control the Administrative Branch because they weaponize the entire federal government to target their enemies: Republicans. The entire middle class will get pummeled, but Republicans will be specifically targeted.
 
I supported the medicare prescription drug part of this bill until I read about it. Apparently it only affects the 10 highest priced drugs starting in 2026 and adds a few more in the subsequent years. What an F'n joke. This bill needs to die a flaming death, and Manchin needs to lose his next election for trying to F over his constituents.
 
But the damage it causes will last decades.

The way I see it..this caught between a rock and a hard place for the Spenders. Doubling down is what we are seeing. The average American family has lost $6K in spending value in the last year.
This Federal socialist agenda is ****ed..and they dont even know it as they are the last to know.
If our election integrity is not secure..then all bets are off.

Manchin probably won’t even run for re-election.
 
Remember that the next time you or one of your family uses a prescription drug card to get your prescription for free *******.

Retirees are in the system and paid into the system. so gotta keep the system going..and it self perpetrates with no end in site...and the Feds absolutely love it.
 
I quoted Giddystones guy about 18 months ago and re-quoted the other day for exact same thing. It was 25% higher. Just a quick calculation and I am thinking am I missing something? The price pages have been so updated that I cannot even keep up. But this one line item quote of capital Equipment and just the update. Lordy.

Pain train inbound.
 
Better to care what is happening in our own nation. Just think those HIMARS that are purchased have been effectively cut by 10%...and it continues.
