Khanna: You know what I think? Instead of giving $4 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires like Elon Musk, how about in this country we start taxing the billionaires?

Taxing the rich actually creates sustainable growth.
Eisenhower did it, and we are still running on infrastructure built by his administration's wealth and policies.
I think you need to change out the entire republican party AND the weak do-nothings in the Dem. In the primaries, get PROMISES from the ones you 'might' support, to eliminate Citizens United, FIRST THING!!!
If the billionaires 'love' America so much, why don't they pay their fair share? The amount of money they have left over after meeting their necessary expenses is far greater than every other American.
Khanna, you think that because that’s what we are screaming at you. If Americans had just rolled over, you all would have co-signed the budget with no fight at all. Democrats are just less spicy version of Republicans.
...we need campaign finance reform - like yesterday. We need to prohibit corporations from making political contributions - limit it to voting-eligible citizens. Put a cap on contributions. Use public funds to give candidates "equal media time/coverage". We need "pro-citizen" politicians.
Elect democrats; sweep out all corrupt, dark money beholden, compromised, lying liar congresspeople; the ones who vote what their masters tell them to. Commit to cutting out this cancer over the next 3-4 election cycles to cover the six year terms of corrupt senators & overlap’g representatives 🇺🇸
Since taking office in 2017, Ro Khanna has been among the most active stock traders in Congress with over 16,000 trades totaling approx $293 million in volume as of mid-2024. Many of these are attributed to his wife and children through a trust. Conflict of interest? Hypocrisy? You becha!
How bout you start coming up with more realistic answers to our situation and quit with the pipe dreams that get cheers but are not based on today's reality?
And Democrats should make it very clear, that since the billionaires so cowardly stood behind the orange clown, that there will be a hefty price to pay (tax wise) for their cowardice.
"History will judge societies and governments - and the institutions - not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless."
The dems had the chance to do this when they were in power and feck all happened so this is just bullshit
Do something credible to get the usa out of the mess it’s in now instead of useless propaganda shite that means nothing and only creates further bad feelings.

President Biden wanted to tax the rich. VP Harris wanted to tax the rich. The Oligarchs came out of their holes, contributed migjtily to Trump and defeated Biden, then Harris.
The Oligarchs must be defeated, or they will continue their rule.

Low cost healthcare
Stable social security
Investments in clean, cheap energy
Job training programs/college for all
Lower taxes for most
Better streets, roads, and airports
Find me some Republicans to argue those aren't all good ideas.
face a
Firing Squad
why?
to pay for this 2017 tax bill to keep paying billionaires forever
because these 2017 tax cuts aka “billionaire welfare” are set to expire this year
eat the rich
Oh how we love to talk about it.
but maybe with the near loss of democracy this time…more people could wake up. Staying silent and watching is not useful or productive.
The comatose patient is not yet dead so let’s keep working on doing CPR yeah?
He's been in Congress for 8 years now.
How many bills has he sponsored/cosponsored to do that?
How do we go about making that happen during my lifetime?
