Is the title of this a little misleading? The implication appears to be that politicians saying "we need to tax the rich" are hypocritical. However, the Senator in question is noteworthy because they are standing in the way of taxing the rich. So the fact that they are rich enough to own a yacht wouldn't be contradictory.
I appreciate people being able to confront a senator unannounced in an open space.<p>One question, is that boat really a yacht? Looks small to me. May not really be relevant.<p>Joe Manchin's net worth is at least several million dollars, but it's not enough to classify him as part of the 1%.
