On Thursday’s broadcast of West Virginia MetroNews’ “Talkline with Hoppy Kercheval,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) responded to concerns about the increased IRS funding in the Inflation Reduction Act by stating that it’s not geared towards small businesses or people making less than $400,000, it’s only for “those complicated, convoluted companies that we have never been able to” pursue due to a lack of resources.
Manchin stated, [relevant remarks begin around 30:45] “That should not be a concern, and I’ll tell you the reason why. If anyone, and I would say this and make sure you quote me, anybody that feels that they’re being harassed or targeted, call my office. That’s all I can ask you to do. Let me fight for you. Because that won’t happen. This is — they just put a directive out, as far as the IRS office, as far as Janet Yellen and Treasury, nobody making — no household that makes less than 400,000 will be — nothing changes. Most West Virginians pay their taxes because it’s all earned income. They get a check, taxes are deducted from their check, and we go on. That’s how most West Virginians and most Americans, working people, pay their taxes. The people who don’t, have the complicated and convoluted type of style of how they get pass-throughs, what type of corporations they set up, they will be audited. They’re going to have to pay their fair share, and they’re all pushing back. They don’t even want to pay, the largest corporations in the country don’t even want to pay a 15% minimum. … We have over 50 companies like Nike and FedEx pay zero for this great country.”

Too late Joe
You caved to traitors out of your own political interests
You knew or should have known the IRS additions was in the pork bill and yet you surrendered
Call us when Manchin starts being harassed...so that we can cheer and watch.
Rinse, repeat.
Forever.
Make that low life putrid SOB be afraid to close its eyes.
Manchin is so full of sh!t. Call his office if you’re being harassed by the IRS, and he knows damn well that if he does a damn thing about it Merrick Garland will have the FBI arrest him for obstruction of justice.
Idiot. This will be the thing that gets them. Every moron that voted to weaponize the IRS is going bye bye.
Further, companies (corporations) don't pay taxes per se. They just pass those costs on to their customers.
Right that’s why they need 87,000 of them. Hey Joe, now we know you think your constituents are morons.
Call you? You sold out the country why would the good people of West Virginia ever trust you again.
And he’ll do what?
Yeah right. They’re just hiring them to answer questions, right? I guarantee the calls to his office will go unanswered.
lying SOB political prostitute

87,000 armed new hired Ghetto Diversity agents for 419 Billionaires.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight……………
And they need 87,000 more agents to do this? Armed and willing to use deadly force?
Okay, Munchkin, thee of no principle.
Sure Joe...Lois Lerner will get right on that.
translation- They are coming after your garage sale money.
Will they be auditing the 10,000 cartel members operating in Northern California?
Sure, Joe, you were duped.
Oh my goodness what a joke this is.
Wow, what a brazen liar.
Will Manchin be in office in 10, 20 years when this IRS behemoth is running at full capacity? What a smug, insensitive thing for him to say. If his constituents continue to support him, they’re dumber than mud and shouldn’t be voting.
