@cvpayne @TeamCavuto It’s also common sense that everyone is impacted by high gas prices. That’s what people in my district are complaining about. And excessive cost of prescription drugs. So we are trying to tax industries that are fleecing the working class and that people are upset about. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@cvpayne @TeamCavuto The price of gas is up 46 percent this year. What other goods have seen that one year spike? Oil companies are making record profits. It’s fair to tax them on those record profits unless they lower the price and put some of that money in the pockets of working families. — PolitiTweet.org

The brilliant speech by ⁦President Kennedy ⁦@JFKLibrary⁩ on the importance of investing in technology, productivity and growth to create high wage jobs for all Americans is worth re-reading. Democrats should channel some of this inspiration! https://t.co/SPTvNOjX6H — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

You shouldn’t be able to avoid income taxes just because your wealth lives in a portfolio instead of in your house. We need a way to make sure billionaires pay at least a 20 percent income tax— that’s what the Billioinaire Income Tax does. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to have voted to cap patients’ monthly insulin costs at $35 — but even that’s too high. People shouldn’t have to pay for life-saving medicine. We need Medicare for All. https://t.co/Hnv9ETEec3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@reclaimthefight So you’re opposed to Biden’s proposal on a billionaire tax? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Every year working- and middle-class folks pay tax on the unrealized gains of their wealth when they pay property tax. But billionaires can use the unrealized gains of THEIR wealth to borrow money tax-free, just because it’s stock instead of property? That doesn’t make sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Periodic reminder: the minimum wage has lost 18% of its value since it was last raised, and the only thing standing between us and making it a living wage is the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations and solidarity with the NYC Amazons workers who just unionized. I hope Jeff Bezos can find the time between space flights to engage with them in good faith. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re going to create hundreds of thousands of good-paying tech jobs in the next few years — we can create them in Ohio, Alabama, and California! An inclusive view of production and job creation is how we bring people together. — PolitiTweet.org

Reliance on autocratic petrostates and their oil supply contributes to international crises, drives climate change, AND raises costs for working families. We need a moonshot for renewable energy to make it right. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The left must not cede to the right the story of growth, production, and the supply side of the economy. We must be the party with an energetic vision for innovation and production for every American and every community. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ConorDougherty I make the argument for place based and equity policies grounded in Sen’s capability theory and Rawls primary goods in ch 2, 3, 5. Open to your critique but twitter probably not the best forum! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ConorDougherty Pat Brown did a great job with investment in transportation and infrastructure. We have neglected many mid size cities, rural communities and communities of color from investments to facilitate production and modern job opportunities. Kids buying one way tickets out of towns. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ConorDougherty The conventional view is - let the markets decide where jobs are. I argue for an explicit place based focus economic development. People shouldn’t be forced to move simply to get good jobs. It’s a vision of progressive capitalism. Of course, we want more housing in California. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ConorDougherty But, that is not the sentiment at all. Please read my book, chapter 4. I call for increased housing supply in the Bay Area! But I also call for place based policies for job creation in places left out to bring high wage jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@PEWilliams_ My district & region has $11 trillion of market cap and is a world leader in job creation. We can create more jobs, have more housing in the Bay, and have placed based policies to focus on job creation in places left out. Please read my book Dignity in a Digital Age! — PolitiTweet.org

@Noahpinion Did you read the arguments in my book for job creation across the county and place based policy? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ConorDougherty This is a false quote and I would never say this! Just to be clear. Hope people will read the book to see the argument I make for investing in job creation around the country and increasing the housing supply in the Bay. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Investing in American innovation means creating good-paying jobs across the country and solidifying our place as an economic leader in the tech economy. THAT is why we should send the Bipartisan Innovation Act to the President’s desk as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@AlexFischCC We have extraordinary job creation in my district that I have championed and $11 trillion of market cap. Arguably the most job and wealth generation in the world! I am interested in investing and creating those jobs across the country. — PolitiTweet.org
