Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla said the technology-driven surge in wealth has disproportionately benefited investors over workers, arguing that higher taxes on capital gains are needed to create a fairer economy.
Khosla Backs Higher Capital Gains Taxes
During an interview with The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, Khosla discussed his investment philosophy, artificial intelligence and wealth inequality, saying his approach to problem-solving has shaped both his career and personal projects.
"I think most of my success is because of my design thinking. I designed everything from furniture to lifestyles to buildings," Khosla said, explaining that he even spent late nights designing details such as office paper towel dispensers.
The founder of Khosla Ventures also argued that the U.S. tax system should place a greater burden on wealthy investors.
