Well sure. But that’s the point. That rich people have apples (lately untaxed wealth that they can pass down, often tax free, to heirs) and regular people have oranges (taxable income, little wealth, and no money to pass down). — PolitiTweet.org

These numbers are comparing apples to oranges. The first number is taxes paid as a percentage of “wealth growth.” T… https://t.co/2zjnZ2Ks4o

The military junta in Myanmar has been on a rampage against independent journalism, and Danny Fenster's arrest is the latest outrageous attempt to shut down the free press. Authorities must grant U.S. officials access to Danny, and release him immediately. https://t.co/yM0C2idnUz — PolitiTweet.org

The richest people in America pay no income taxes. Warren Buffett 0.10% Jeff Bezos: 0.98% Elon Musk: 3.27% Regular Americans are paying 20%+. It's just extraordinary how rigged the system is. Let's fix it. — PolitiTweet.org

Hey good news - the https://t.co/3k4t4gVZq3 Act just passed the Senate! I've spent 10 years working to strengthen Buy America laws, and this act sets up a clearinghouse where waivers to the Buy America law are posted so that manufacturers can contest unnecessary exemptions. — PolitiTweet.org

FYI the Connecticut legislature’s rules allow for the old fashioned filibuster. Opponents of the bill can talk for as long as they can to delay the bill, but the minority doesn’t hold total veto power. — PolitiTweet.org

Had Zelensky asked when we met, I would not have advised him to negotiate with President Biden - a historic strong ally of Ukraine - via the media. I guess world leaders are having trouble adjusting to the post-Trump reality, where diplomacy isn't conducted via social media. — PolitiTweet.org

As @VP travels to Guatemala to help tackle Northern Triangle violence, worth noting that most of the guns used in crimes there are trafficked from the United States. Many of these guns are bought at gun shows and online, so traffickers don't have to go thru a background check. — PolitiTweet.org

6/ The NCAA should lose the case, but no matter the court's decision, if we don't give college athletes this power, the injustices that define college sports will continue. Congress should take up my legislation with @SenSanders, @RepBowman, @RepLoriTrahan and @RepAndyLevin. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
5/ But even if the NCAA loses the case, we need reform. My College Athlete Right to Organize Act would officially recognize college athletes as employees – knocking down barriers that prevent them from collectively bargaining and securing the benefits they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
4/ That's ridiculous. College sports is a $15 billion industry all built on the free labor of college athletes. Whether or not the NCAA wants to admit it, these athletes are employees. They often work 40+ hours/wk and they lose their compensation if they refuse to work. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
3/ That's why a lower court already ruled against the NCAA – and it's why they should lose this appeal. The NCAA's main argument is the same tired one they've used for 60 years: college athletes are "amateurs" who have no say in how they're compensated or protected. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
2/ In NCAA v. Alston, big time college sports programs argue they have a right to collude to set a "salary cap" (on scholarships and stipends) for all college athletes. But here's the problem: federal law prohibits collusion (of course it does). — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
College athletes are being exploited. And the NCAA is before the Supreme Court arguing there is a constitutional right to pay these kids next to nothing. 1/ A THREAD on the pending case of NCAA v. Alston and why we need to let college athletes collectively bargain. — PolitiTweet.org
