AMAC Exclusive – By Shane Harris

In news that sent shockwaves through the political world, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin announced late Wednesday evening that they had reached an agreement on a sweeping reconciliation package, suddenly reviving large portions of President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda. Revealed just hours before Q2 GDP data showed Thursday that the U.S. economy is indeed in a recession (despite a desperate scramble by the Biden administration to redefine the term), the new framework increases the tax burden on Americans by hundreds of billions of dollars, likely worsening the nation’s economic outlook – and perhaps sealing Democrats’ electoral fate in the process.

After Manchin killed Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” bill last year, the West Virginia Democrat had repeatedly quashed talk of a “comeback” for Biden’s signature domestic spending plan, insisting that “there’s not a Build Back Better revival.” Conventional wisdom in Washington held that Manchin, Schumer, and Biden would agree to a far narrower package centered on lowering prescription drug costs and expanding Obamacare subsidies. But in a surprise move, Manchin signaled his approval of a far more extensive package officially titled the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.”

The largest spending category in the legislation by far is “energy security and climate change,” coming in at $369 billion. The bill promises to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030, provide subsidies and tax breaks for electric vehicles, and more rigorously enforce environmental regulations – all major provisions of the original Build Back Better Act.

The “trade-off” here, according to Democrats and Manchin specifically, is that the bill supposedly makes investments in domestic energy production, including fossil fuels. But exactly what those investments are is unclear. The legislation does call for “comprehensive Permitting reform legislation to be passed before the end of the fiscal year,” but fails to specify what such reform would look like, or how it would increase domestic energy production. Moreover, with a four-seat Democrat margin in the House, it seems a virtual certainty that the Congressional Progressive Caucus would have the votes to kill legislation perceived as benefitting oil, gas, and coal companies, even if Schumer can keep every Senate Democrat in line.

Of primary concern for most Americans, however, should be the bill’s tax provisions.

A one-page summary of the legislation claims that it includes “no new taxes on families making $400,000 or less and no new taxes on small businesses.” That may be technically true – but as is so often the case with liberal legislation, the devil is in the details. Instead of introducing new taxes, the bill promises to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue (taxes) by “closing loopholes” and “enforcing the tax code.” In other words, while millions of Americans won’t be paying any “new” taxes, the amount that they actually fork over to the federal government at the end of each year will be higher. Democrats believe, for example, they can raise $124 billion solely from “IRS tax enforcement” – government speak for targeting businesses with audits.

The new taxes that the bill imposes on businesses and wealthy individuals – most notably a 15% corporate minimum tax on large companies – are also likely to kill jobs and hamper economic growth. While Schumer and Manchin are hiding behind the now-familiar Democrat talking point of making everyone “pay their fair share,” that sentiment won’t change the fact that when businesses are taxed more, they will cut jobs, particularly with the country entering a recession.

With Schumer aiming for a vote on the bill next week using the budget reconciliation process (which allows Democrats to pass legislation with a simple majority rather than the normal 60 votes) there is little Republicans can do to stop it. Although conservatives have quickly slammed the plan, the announcement appears to have caught GOP leadership largely off guard. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had pledged just weeks ago that Republicans would not help Democrats pass a substantial semiconductor manufacturing bill “as long as Democrats are pursuing a partisan reconciliation bill.” But just hours after 17 Senate Republicans voted with Democrats to pass that legislation on Wednesday, the Inflation Reduction Act was officially introduced.

Nonetheless, passing this legislation would still be a great risk for Democrats. Regardless of how they try and spin it, the bill will increase the tax burden on millions of Americans in the middle of a recession and just months before an election. When Republican President Herbert Hoover made a similar move nearly a century ago by signing the Revenue Act of 1932, it deepened the Great Depression and ushered in two decades of uninterrupted Democrat control of Washington. Now, Joe Biden, Joe Manchin, and the rest of the Democratic Party appear poised to make a similar mistake.

Yea, raising taxes will soften inflation. It coincidentally raises the wealth of the DemocRats and the control of the economy to the DemocRats at their whim. For the life of me, I can’t understand why a huge majority of American citizens are more vocal and ragingly critical of the DemocrRat party and the Biden administration. The DemocRats are shadow Communistic basturds. I feel the Constitutional Democracy of this Nation slipping away. Elections do matter, and rigged elections can and likely will produce severe governance problems. And so it has been with the election of Joe Hidin’ Biden.

If we don’t stop the BS now the United States of America will no longer exist!

What patriotic Americans can do to resist the destruction of our constitutional republic.

First, recognize that the United States is not a functioning constitutional republic, but a government being deliberately transformed into a one-party totalitarian state.

The federal government, as an institution, is hopelessly corrupt and, although we have elections, we do not have a representative government. It cannot be reformed. It can only be ripped out and replaced.

Do not expect any top-down solutions for America’s problems to miraculously emerge from Washington D.C. The U.S. government has seceded from the people. Most members of Congress act more like foreign occupiers than executors of the views and needs of their constituents.

Angelo Codevilla noted that the United States already has a bona fide ruling class, which transcends government, a political aristocracy that sees itself as distinct from the rest of society and as the only element that may act on its behalf. The ruling class considers those who resist it as having no moral or intellectual right, and, now, any civil right as well.

Republican Party leaders neither contest that view nor vilify their Democrat counterparts because they do not want to challenge the ruling class, they want to be part of it.

The Republican leadership has solidified its choice to no longer represent what had been its constituency, but to adopt the identity of junior partners in the ruling class. By repeatedly passing bills that contradict the views of its voters, the Republican Party has made political orphans of tens of millions of Americans.

The only remaining course of action for patriotic American, who want to restore our constitutional republic, is a bottom-up political insurgency based on the Constitution and the Founding documents.

Foremost among them are the Second and Tenth Amendments.

The Second Amendment, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,” is now the only obstacle standing between freedom and the absolute tyranny the federal government now wishes to impose.

Buy firearms and lots of ammunition.

Identify constitutional sheriffs or law enforcement officers in your community and coordinate with them to form a “well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.” That is, a militia capable of being deputized to fight against, not just criminality, but incursions by a tyrannical government.

Above all others, preserving the Second Amendment is the hill to die on.

The Second Amendment is not just the basis for the right of self-defense, but it is also the defense against tyranny and the guarantor of all other rights as the Founding Fathers recognized.

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

– Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th-century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

“To disarm the people…[i]s the most effective way to enslave them.”

– George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788.

The Tenth Amendment states:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Refuse to comply with and actively resist unlawful and unconstitutional edicts from the federal government.

Remove and replace any local official acting contrary to the interests of the people. Take control of the local government, prosecutors, and school boards. Coordinate your activities with other similarly-acting communities in your region. Create Democrat Party- and Establishment Republican-free zones.

Give Democrats a taste of their own medicine. As much as local law will permit, arrest and prosecute or organize civil lawsuits against individuals or organizations engaged in the destruction of our constitutional republic.

Identify by name, address and photograph all illegal aliens in your community, which will facilitate their later deportation. Challenge all local employers who hire illegal aliens and any non-governmental organization facilitating the transport or support of illegal aliens in your community. Launch lawsuits when appropriate.

Strictly enforce Equal Opportunity. Expose and eliminate programs promoting grooming and sexualization of children, Critical Race Theory, and all similar forms of anti-American indoctrination.

Immediately, state out loud and often that Joe Biden is not a legitimate President of the United States, but a usurper, who was installed in office through an election stolen by organized voter fraud.Until the November 3, 2020 election is satisfactorily addressed, there can be no election integrity and the United States will remain a banana, not a constitutional republic.

Admittedly, my list of actions by patriotic Americans to restore our constitutional republic is not exhaustive. Add your own ideas in the comments section.

In any case, the time for action is now. The collective effect of even the smallest acts of non-compliance can have an impact.

There were many who said that they would trust Joe Manchin and cast a vote for him because he stood up to the Left.
Manchin, next to John Kerry, is the poster child for flip-flopping sooner or later. He has quite an extensive history of doing this sort of thing. So, why would anyone actually believe that this guy was going to straighten up and fly right?

It cannot be said enough that as long as one rolls the dice on putting their faith and trust in a Democrat (or RINO) politician, sooner or later one finds themselves in a hole somewhere that is totally undesirable to be in.

Something changed Joe Manchin’s mind. You have to wonder if he was personally threatened in such a way to make him knuckle under. He was the one piece of sanity in that den of vipers. Mark my words, Build Back Better is just the latest term for New World Order. Think about it … to build something back “better” you have to destroy something current first. Looks like it’s our economy that’s the something “current”.

Even Obama stated that raising taxes during a recession makes no sense, however, now the Marxist Democrats are planning to do just that. This is another indication that the Democrats do not care how much Americans suffer. The Democrats are dangerous ideologues who have totally lost their ability to help keep the USA secure and strong.

When will more citizens finally get on board with the Article V Convention of States to keep politicians from raising taxes at their whim, printing more money, and spending as if it already were what they are making our hard earned dollars to be – monopoly money. We need to put some teeth in our Constitution: balanced budget every year or the party that violates it is out, politicians don’t get to vote their own pay raises, politicians should only get paid an extra $5,000past the average U.S. citizens annual income not $175,000, all tax raises should require a national approval election, no more Federal Reserve Bank that causes the steady up and down as well as recessions, major cuts of wholesale government departments of a federal government that has become so large that we can no longer afford it, term limits – one and done, 4 years only so choose if you want to be a representative, senator, or president, no legal immunity, no special benefits, no lifetime pensions, no lobbying income, no insider trading, no getting rich, you serve and go home, and before you leave there will be an audit. No political action committees, and other organizations to run campaigns that serve as strawman organizations for big billionaires to funnel billions into buying themselves an election, while Joe Average ends up in jail like Dinesh D’Souza for exceeding the limit by $2,700; maybe even no parties so the average Joe can afford to run again, and the public will have to vote on character and program instead of nothing meaning party labels that fool us every time because the left owns a good portion of GOP politicians by now. Most of all we need the Stare Decisis Constitution that weighs several hundred pounds by now and SCOTUS is using instead of the actual U,S. Constitution you can fit in your pants back pocket to be retired and the actual U.S. Constitution to be used solely again. It is not the Constitution, or the founders vision that has failed us. it is the creeping greed for power, money, and appetite for corruption of our politicians, parties, and unelected, lifetime appointed, untouchable bureaucrats that has gotten us into this mess, the Article V Convention of States is the peaceful way to fix this.

Once again Mitch McConnell has gotten played by the Democrats. What did McConnell think that Schumer and Manchin were huddled in meetings about for the last two weeks? McConnell gave the go ahead for 16 Republicans in the Senate to vote for the completely unnecessary and inflationary $280 billion dollar Chips Bill, which cleared the way for this $746 billion dollar reconciliation bill (the so-called “skinny” BBB Bill) to be brought up and likely passed by unanimous Democrat support in the Senate. That’s another $1.3 trillion dollar spending extravaganza that will lead to higher inflation, higher taxes, higher national debt, and higher borrowing costs and less business growth in the United States. Which leads to less jobs, higher unemployment, and an overall lower standard of living for Americans going forward. All while Mitch is left looking like a confused deer staring into the headlights of an oncoming 18 wheeler once again.

By the way, McCarthy hasn’t covered himself in glory with the Chips Bill either. When I last checked, 25 Repubicans in the House voted for that piece of garbage. This is the GOP leadership that is supposed to save the American people from the socialist agenda? I don’t think so. Not if these two RINOs are in charge of Congress.

Oh and yes Manchin got exactly what he wanted to make it appear West Virginia got something substantial out of the BBB Bill he’s now agreed to vote for, so he can go home and tout about “bringing home the bacon”. So the Democrats look like heroes to their voting bas, while the Republicans, at least the RINOs of the group, once again look like the spineless, clueless idiots many of them are.

We cannot allow ourselves to believe for even a moment there is even one single thing our current communist regime (democrat party) wants to do that will ease the burden on taxpayers or ease the pain ordinary citizens have endured the last 2.5 years. Did Venezuela’s government try to reduce the starvation and destruction of their citizens as they turned socialist? Nope. The Venezuelans ended up using their paper money for toilet paper and ate their cats and dogs. (They became socialist after a stolen election using Dominion voting machines) Sound familiar?

We cannot allow ourselves to believe there will be mercy or mitigation from the biden regime. We already have trucking companies who cannot afford to deliver goods. We have big food production plants mysteriously catching fire. We have massive kill-offs of chickens and apparently cattle. We have crops not being planted because of diesel prices to run farm machinery and a lack of fertilizer we foolishly import instead of making our own.

We have the DC elite screaming about “monkeypox” and the need to lock us down again. Hidden inside some Pfizer documents is a list of “adverse events of special interest”, which means really bad side effects. Surprise! A known adverse effect is “Autoimmune Blistering Disease”! Wow! That sounds like “monkeypox” to me.

To put the cherry on top, we are now being flooded with hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants who bring absolutely nothing and who expect us to provide absolutely everything for them. Ya think having all those hungry mouths to feed doesn’t further damage our food supply? How much of our tax money do you think it takes to put them all in hotels, give them iPhones, provide medical care and housing? We still have US Veterans living on our streets while we put illegals in hotels.

Then again, I am just a crazy old conspiracy-theory spouting madwoman yelling out in the desert.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022? BALONEY! Just like every other monstrosity passed by democrats in Congress (the community reinvestment act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act are just two examples of this), this bill will NOT do what Congress says it will. This bill will make inflation worse because whatever costs corporations won’t be able to lower by cutting jobs will be passed down to the consumers in the form of higher prices than we’re currently paying. As for the claim that this bill will force the wealthy to “pay their fair share”, what exactly does Congress consider the wealthy’s “fair share” to be? The tax hikes in this bill could not come at a worse time because (despite the denials of the Biden administration), this country has just entered into a recession. The democrats used to say that you don’t raise taxes during a recession and this bill does exactly that. The so-called “investments” in clean energy that this bill provides for will only result in even higher energy costs than we currently have at a time when we can least afford them. This bill, in addition to being a tax and spend monstrosity, which is bad enough, is also a green new deal boondoggle which rips off this country’s taxpayers.
