The American public deserves to know what hand the oil industry has in shaping policy & promoting misinformation. Fossil fuel executives should come before Congress like every other industry to answer basic questions. But if they won’t voluntarily, we'll make sure they show up. — PolitiTweet.org

The lowest average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in the US is in West Virginia, which comes to $7,500 per year. $7.25/hr is $15k per year. The tipped wage is even less. So some are paying half of their income in rent–plus utilities, healthcare, and childcare. #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

@danheld @antonydavies No one is for confiscation! A few percent wealth tax would raise considerable revenue to pay for things like free public college. Billionaires would continue to produce wealth. As you know, we are a very low tax nation compared to OECD countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Strategic investment by the government propelled the US to the forefront of global industry. That's exactly what we can do with tech innovation by investing across the country and not just along the coasts. That’s what my Endless Frontiers Act would do. Now it’s time to pass it. — PolitiTweet.org

Should billionaires play out their space travel fantasies, or should we invest in schooling, provide healthcare, and create prosperity for everyone? We need a wealth tax. https://t.co/PrpnWgxoev — PolitiTweet.org

America’s billionaires hold more than $4 trillion in wealth. The bottom half of Americans hold about $2 trillion. You don’t have to be an economist to realize there’s something wrong here–we need a wealth tax. — PolitiTweet.org

The assault on voting rights across the country ongoing. Republicans at the state level are still overhauling our election process on the basis of misrepresentations. We need to exempt voting rights legislation from the filibuster to secure our democracy. https://t.co/1uokpR1HOI — PolitiTweet.org

The fossil fuel industry continues to manipulate public opinion and exert undue influence in shaping policy in Congress. I will not rest until we bring the fossil fuel executives in to testify in front of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

The promise of a growing economy is that everyone can reap its rewards. Since the early 70s, the size of the US economy ballooned from $5,000 per capita to more than $65,000. But hourly wages stayed the same. If the economy doesn’t work for working people then it isn’t working. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Fun fact: the middle class already pays a wealth tax. It’s called the property tax. If the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share, we can help millions of Americans through free public college, universal child care, and student debt relief. That’s why we need a wealth tax. — PolitiTweet.org

As many as 40 million Americans don’t have access to broadband internet. That’s 40 million Americans for whom working from home and virtual schooling isn’t an option. Creating an economy that works for all requires tackling the digital divide. — PolitiTweet.org

2/3 of minimum wage earners are women. At just $7.25 an hour, that means many are supporting their families below the poverty line. Why do we have a system that allows children to be raised in poverty? Raise the wage. — PolitiTweet.org
