Both President Joe Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin are claiming the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is an innocent solution to historic rates of inflation affecting Americans nationwide.
However, one quick peek at the language of the bill and you’ll quickly realize just how disastrous it actually is.
Obamacare will receive another injection of taxpayer cash were the bill to pass. It also provides additional funding for Biden’s radical climate agenda as well as handing the IRS barrels of cash for tax enforcement purposes — all while raising taxes on most Americans.
Manchin and Biden are now teaming up to spin a web of lies about this bill just one week after the West Virginia Democrat declared Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda dead forever.
Meanwhile, the so-called Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 does much, much more than what Biden and Manchin claim.
While on the campaign trail, Joe Biden vowed never to raise taxes on any American earning less than $400,000 — a point which his followers were quick to repeat. The cognitively deficient President is now going back on that promise.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will lower health care costs for millions of Americans. And, for the first time in a long time, make the largest corporations pay their fair share without any new taxes on people making under $400,000 a year.

An in-depth analysis of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 published by non-partisan organization bucks all claims made by Manchin and Biden that the bill won’t raise taxes for middle-and-low-income Americans.
The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), a non-partisan group, found that taxes will in fact skyrocket in 2023 if the Inflation Reduction Act passes. Only one group of taxpayers (those earning between $10,000-$30,000) will be exempt from the tax hikes needed to pay for the legislation.
Those making under $10,000 will see a .3% increase in their federal taxes; those making between $30,000 and $75,000 will see a .1% increase; those making between $75,000 and $100,000 a .2% increase; those making between $100,000 and $500,000 a .3% increase; those making between $500,000 and $1,000,000 a .5% increase; and those making over $1,000,000 a year will see a .6% increase, according to the JCT.
CNN broke down the new taxes a different way, reporting that the tax increases next year would total $16.7 billion for Americans making less than $200,000 per year; $14.1 billion for those making between $200,000 and $500,000 a year, and $23.5 billion for those making $500,000 or more per year.
Republicans have begun to expose the truth behind the Inflation Reduction Act following the JCT report.
It will subsidize the wealthy at the expense of working families, raise taxes on workers making as little as $10K a year, and unleash an army of IRS agents on taxpayers. Oh, and it won’t reduce inflation anytime soon. https://t.co/sktYivdD2O

Manchin/Schumer/Biden bill:
The median household income in West Virginia is $48,037. This bill will raise taxes of Americans making well below those levels in order to help families making more than five times those levels purchase electric cars. https://t.co/04pe40FHV3

Manchin is largely ignoring the JCT’s findings, claiming the bill only raises taxes for corporations worth $1 billion or more.

Just when it seemed Joe Biden’s economic agenda was dead in the water, “centrist” Joe Manchin swoops in to revive it!
Really makes you think…
