evidence: Joe Manchin is deeply concerned about West Virginia’s non-existent billionaires [...] Another day, another opportunity for West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin to once again play spoiler for his own party’s increasingly desperate plans to pass anything resembling meaningful legislation. At issue this time is a proposed "billionaire income tax" designed to cover the expenses associated with the Biden administration’s massive (but not quite as massive at it once was) $2 trillion spending package of social programs and environmental protections. [...] Here’s the terrible icing on Manchin’s already garbage-covered cake: The "billionaires" he’s so worried about being targeted by this proposed tax? He doesn’t represent them. Any of them. At all. Of the approximately 1.8 million constituents who live in his home state of West Virginia, exactly zero of them are billionaires. None. The last time there was a billionaire in West Virginia, it was current governor Jim Justice, who earlier this year was revealed to have $850 million in loans from the now insolvent Greensill Capital financial services company, which knocked him out of the three comma club.
