It has become increasingly clear that @RoKhanna, the Democratic congressman currently representing Silicon Valley, lacks the innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial spirit that defines our region. In fact, he seems to represent the antithesis of these values.

Consider his stance on taxation. He supports what acts as a California Property Seizure tax, although he refers to it as a Billionaire Tax. This policy has already resulted in the departure of half of the billionaire wealth from California, leaving the middle class responsible for making up the revenue shortfall. Not content with this, he aligned himself with Bernie Sanders to advocate for an additional national 5% wealth tax to fund unspecified projects.

There is also a stark contrast between his public signals regarding inequality and his private actions. He stands out as one of the most frequent stock traders in Congress. Just last year, his trading volume reached $55.7m. Aided by the knowledge acquired through his position, he managed to beat the market performance by 13%.

Ultimately, ambition appears to be his guiding principle. He seems willing to jump from one ill-advised concept to another if it benefits his political career. Right now, that strategy involves posturing as a quasi socialist to gain approval from the extreme left faction of his party. He is ill-suited to represent Silicon Valley, and I sincerely hope he faces a significant loss in his re-election bid.
