Eh, he's not that wrong. While Manchin says he wants the phase-out to start at $50,000, his amendment literally does not say that. xp's right that it's just a vague "upper-income taxpayers." So what he's saying doesn't truly matter since it's not actually the legislation.

So, yes, it does require every vote, but it seems like it's Manchin just paying lip service. He got the proposal he wanted as it was written.

The way I see it is that if there is a big enough concern that some Democrats feel the need to send a letter saying Please dont do this, then there IS something there.

And the way xp worded his post is literally Bernie is freaking out about a ~bipartisan amendment~ when he controls the final price!! when lol, we know thats not really true, now is it?
