White House pushes back on GOP claim that Manchin bill hikes middle-class taxes
(Worthy News) – The White House said Monday that Republicans are wrong to claim that Democratic legislation would increase taxes for those earning less than $400,000 annually.

Last week, it was revealed that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) had signed on to the healthcare, tax, and climate reconciliation proposal, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Since then, Republicans have come out in full-throated opposition and asked the Joint Committee on Taxation to analyze some of the details of the plan. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
