@sujayjaswa I really appreciate the thoughtful way you engage in these issues. I know you are committed to more opportunity for people left out and getting policy right. I believe the civil and constructive debate you offer is the best approach. — PolitiTweet.org

@sujayjaswa Apple in my district is worth $2 trillion yet there are hundreds calling our office struggling to pay rent or make ends meet. One can believe that Tim Cook is brilliant and still believe that as a society we need to focus on more equity in a digital age. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@sujayjaswa My father in law is a very successful entrepreneur and I admire what he achieved. I agree with you that we should not demonize wealth creation which is through genuine ingenuity, hard work, and creativity. But we have to deal with investment in people left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@sujayjaswa I also believe a lot of our comparative advantage on Europe is our ecosystem supporting risk, our great research universities, our immigrant culture, our investments in start ups. I would still incentivize investment in start ups and differentiate that from pure speculation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@sujayjaswa We agree on increasing taxes on estate tax and we agree on increase tax on luxury activity. That is a good and reasonable approach. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@sujayjaswa Agree we need to separate rent seeking behavior from entrepreneurship and innovation. The latter ought to be applauded and encouraged. But I don’t believe a 2 percent wealth tax on over $50 million will significantly deter investment in the next Dropbox, Apple or Google. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@sujayjaswa Very thoughtful thread. I look forward to a longer conversation. I definitely think the creation of wealth is a good thing and applaud entrepreneurs like yourself. The question is about a tax on $50 million plus of net worth to fund public education, health care, infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats need to offer an economic vision for good, high paying jobs in places left behind. We need to make the modern economy work for everyone. @chucktodd @MeetThePress https://t.co/YfS1MBFNTv — PolitiTweet.org

@sujayjaswa Happy to chat on this! We are under OECD a very low tax state. 93% of american wealth is in the US. A small wealth tax will not result in capital flight and can help support investment in human capital. Lets connect and obviously love entrepreneurship! — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi endorsing Kennedy is just evidence that supports @EdMarkey case against dynasty and smoke filled rooms anointing candidates. Bold prediction: it will backfire. Markey’s up two. My guess is now he’ll win the race by more than 5. — PolitiTweet.org

There have been more than 1M new unemployment claims for 21 of the past 22 weeks. Even during the height of the Great Recession, there were only 665,000 claims per week. Americans need our help now. I will keep fighting to fully extend the $600/week enhanced unemployment. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re in a moment of crisis. Now is the time for Democrats to stand with working families, against endless war, and for young people against climate change. Now is the time to say health care is a universal human right—just as FDR and Truman envisioned. My remarks to @CA_Dem: https://t.co/JkQqMdfCNv — PolitiTweet.org

The loss of enhanced unemployment benefits will reduce American incomes by $18B every week. How will this help consumer spending? The rent and bills can't wait. To boost our economy, we need to put money in people's pockets. Fully extend the $600/week unemployment benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Inspiring speech by @KamalaHarris about her mother Shyamala and incredible strength and values she imparted to her & @mayaharris_. The world will be a better place when Senator Harris brings these values to the WH. Her story is a testament to the American promise. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

So much for the Trump economic theory that people will go back to work if they do not get $600. Claims are going up. But the Trump team has never believed in data. We need to extend unemployment to help those in dire need and support consumer spending. https://t.co/KSL2j8NGBP — PolitiTweet.org
