@redsteeze If we could find some common issue to work towards, we could do something for our country! The long term challenge is our global competitiveness. I am open to working w/ you on something to truly help small businesses who have faced a retail apocalypse and generate a lot of jobs — PolitiTweet.org

@redsteeze Why don’t we work on a common agenda to help small business? Tax credits for brick and mortar retail, more access to community banks and capital, revitalizing downtowns... — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@redsteeze By we, I mean America can be pro business and pro worker. Business will thrive the more money workers have to spend in their local community. I say this as someone who has worked across the aisle to support startups and investment in rural. And I was an executive in a business. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@redsteeze We can pay workers a living wage AND have small businesses thrive, including in rural. Putting more money in people’s pockets means they spend more in local communities. You can be pro worker and pro small business. That’s what most small business owners I meet believe. — PolitiTweet.org

@RichMcGowanMD @AlexLasryWI I understand the sentiment given my wife money which she had before marriage. But I grew up middle class, took out student loans, and have stood up for very progressive policy. Ultimately let’s judge on policy record. FDR accomplished a lot though big flaws also. — PolitiTweet.org

@TCPigott American taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing businesses that can’t pay living wages, my support for Medicare for all stems from the relief it would provide small businesses who are saddled with skyrocketing healthcare costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@TCPigott My voting record strongly supports such tax credits & championing entrepreneurship. I have worked with startups & in business & understand the hardships of small business owners. We can have $15 wage and still be pro business. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@TCPigott I strongly support small businesses that have suffered in the retail apocalypse with tax credits and available credit. We can support small businesses thriving and make sure workers get the $15 they deserve — PolitiTweet.org

Two-thirds of Americans support raising the minimum wage. It will lift millions out of poverty. What are we waiting for? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

“If you live in the Mississippi Delta and your income is $25k, you are more likely to be audited by the IRS than if you live on Park Avenue and make millions.” Most $ owed is from the 1%. We must strengthen the IRS & hold the ultra-rich accountable. https://t.co/XjPjPd2EBJ — PolitiTweet.org

@doctor_eon It is not a lie. Race Matters has had a huge impact in the US on thinking about race and class. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Great philosophy is not just narrow problems that the elite define as interesting. West has tackled issues of race and class brilliantly. Nussbaum is a mentor of mine and respects him. I’m lecturing this week in his & Unger class. Are you going to insult Unger too? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@CornelWest is one of the most brilliant philosophers of our time. Of course Harvard denied tenure to Martha Nussbaum as well. One wonders whether they would deny the next Rawls or Habermas tenure if they happen to be Black or women. The loss is for scholarship. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@davidberry Because they are suffering from globalization, the retail apocalypse, abandonment of rural downtowns and many other policy failures. The evidence does not suggest $15 would hurt small business. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@davidberry I am all for supporting small business, particularly in rural communities, with tax credits, grants and relief. But that should be separate from the point of needing all businesses to pay a fair wage. — PolitiTweet.org

Restoring relationships with our European allies is critical if we want to reverse the damage of the last four years. Our foreign policy should be rooted in diplomacy and human rights—and today was a welcome first step towards that effort. — PolitiTweet.org
