Democrats, Incl. WV Sen. Joe Manchin, Block WV Income Tax Cut

We have to confess we're not impressed with West Virginia U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (Democrat). We had hoped he might be somewhat independent from the radicals in his own party and provide some balance to an out-of-control leftist agenda being pushed by Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden. Manchin is failing in that regard. He's just another toady for his party. (We're not surprised.) The latest evidence that Joe Manchin is not the "man of the people" and "conservative/moderate" Democrat he claims to be comes from his opposition to WV Gov. Jim Justice's plan to phase out the state income tax--which does have implications for the shale industry.
