discorperted Its not practical to remove millions of undocumentef immigrants. You have to think forward. That is why there is a huge conflict in middle east. Some palestines want to remove all the jews from there which is not practical, they have to look forward now. What if someone all of a sudden comes to u and tell u “Actually you are from Germany and you are illegal, we gonna deport u back to germay” You would happily go back, would u not?
discorperted Its not as easy as you think. You need to find each of them, You will need resources and there is a process too. Finding millions of people itself is a big deal. Once someone gets into some other country illegally, its hard to take them out. For example, America illegallu invaded iraq and still there illegally.
discorperted Mexicans dont come here illegally anymore. They are the 6th largest economy. I know you think brown people speaking spanish are mexican lol. Net migration is negative from mexico. People from other countries include Europe, come here illegally
@discorperted Illegals do pay taxes. They pay sales tax like everyone else, but they also pay income tax and I think its more than most people. For example, if I hire a legal worker and pay them $20 an hr, instead I hire an illegal for $15 or less, then that's their income tax contribution. He/she is taking the same job for a lot less. In this case the consumers and business owners benefit and doesnt have to go to the government. Who many times direct the funding to things most of us dont agree on.
I mean, Yang started a company that helped create thousands of jobs in an area he identified as one with a need for exactly that kind of infusion. And his Democracy Dollars policy will make it easier for politicians to get things done without constant obstruction, because it washes out corporate donation money that is endlessly fighting against good people like Sanders helping Americans. With Yang's Democracy Dollars, Freedom Dividend, Medicare For All, and Ranked Choice Voting among other things, we can accomplish more in three years than we have in the last ten.
Yeah same, I watched some of his interviews and talks like the one at AARP, Rogan, H3H3 and like that totally got me on board his ship. Literally more and more like you said lol
Right! I canvased and nagged all my friends for Bernie in 16. Its really hard for me to get on board with the federal jobs guarantee though. I can't understand what that looks like in the real world. This is elegant in how simple it is. I really can't imagine independents saying they prefer trump over $1000/month, too. If he's the nominee i can't see him losing (though i thought the same about generic democrat 2016).
I was Bernie in 2016 but as soon as I looked into Yang saw he was the 21st century change needed. What would it take for you to move to the Yang team from team Bernie?
When I first heard about his UBI, I thought "No this guy's crazy, bribing people with money for votes", but then I saw his podcasts with Joe Rogan and even Ben Shapiro. This guy has my full support now. He know's what he's talking about.
WE need to tie UBI to GDP at 30% or more to robotics as well so if robotics and GDP increase everyone's income increases... Robotics becomes more efficient anyway in the end... and less production from humans is needed and more fun realms will happen for humans instead of just work! So that's how we have to think...
I like Yang he’s not just focused on dem or republican like hes focusing on the American people. So far both sides have turned the government into high school a bunch of in mature kids roasting on each other it’s stupid. He’s taking it and turning it into a business that will thrive for years doesn’t matter who you are or support
yangs shiny new neoliberal technocratic version of UBI is eerily similar to that proposed capitalist con-man Milton Friedman in his 1962 book “Capitalism and Freedom”and again in his 1980 book "Free to Choose". Sound familiar. But why would Milton Friedman, an outspoken free market capitalist, support UBI? he viewed it as a way to wean the masses off of government programs So that he would have less opposition in privatization of social programs as well as Deregulation and globalization of big business. This is the last thing America needs right now. Do you really think that these millionaires and billionaires would be endorsing him and funding his campaign if it wasn't going to benefit them in the long run. I implore you to do your research before endorsing this capitalist in progressive packaging.
All is one Point taken....that’s why we learn from the past without tossing out the baby with the bath water. Safeguard the legislation unless you’re saying this can’t work no matter how you cut it?? Also i would think one unfortunately has to make it someone what appealing to the millions n billionaires who dominate messaging to the masses.🤷🏾♂️ So it becomes like “Obamacare” or furthermore the concept of universal healthcare, both of which I was and still am a bit skeptical of. BUT......I’m more appalled by the poor quality or total lack of healthcare my fellow Americans are faced with. I guess the good question is well “where does it end” right? I dunno. I just know death, disease and hunger NEVER work so we gotta come up with ideas that DO while moving forward with the concerns you and others bring to the table. Safeguard it👊
Make no mistake - the Reps are the ones most opposed to this. They REFUSE to consider raising corporation taxation to pay for benefits that go to others instead of themselves. Republicans would end SS and Medicare if they were able to.
Raising minimum wage does nothing when your job gets automated but freedom dividend will ensure a small income while in between careers. I'm all in yang 2020!
Raising the minimum wage and a federal jobs guarantee do absolutely nothing for stay-at-home-parents, caregivers to elderly and/or ailing family, retired people, disabled people, and so on. Raising the minimum wage and a federal jobs guarantee are trash solutions compared to UBI.
right! I can make plans for that money, so i can buy a house and not worry i'd lose it. Knowing a computer could do my job i don't do that right now. I can't even imagine making a 30 year long promise to pay someone - who the eff knows what will be left for me to do in 30 years! I'm no dummy and i work hard but i still can't make the moves my parents made 10 years younger. It's the mindset of scarcity thing he talks about. Gotta get everyone's head up so we can respond to the real world together.
No not at all. UBI is a handout given to people as a means of being pawns on a chessboard and does not in no way addresses the fundamental issues causing inequality.
Yang's Freedom Dividend is paid for in large part by a Value Added Tax on large tech-based companies that stand to benefit from automation. For the sales portion of the various services provided, the VAT would focus on high-end luxury items and not on basic items like food and other everyday products. The average person making regular high-end purchases is the wealthiest among us, meaning the overall reward to poor and middle-class citizens is substantial. The dividend is just one of 150 policies found on Yang's website, many of which work in tandem with this initiative to broaden the freedoms, strengthen the buying power, and increase productivity of Americans across the country. Considering all this, it's hard not to see Yang as the best choice for president in these modern times.
That doesn't make sense. Its sales tax on high end goods teh wealthy pay. Like what yatchs and cars? We are a consumer economy. Driven by the poor and middle class. If the rich could spend enough to get us out of recessions. They would've. If hte problem is automation. Why not tax robots and automation to help fund the UBI? I'm not against the UBI but his plan leaves alot of holes and unexplained funding mechanisms.
The VAT is added to everything. Yang claims he MAY exclude food staples from the tax but thats a MAY not a promise. And if you are on disability Unemployment or receive SNAP you cant receive the benifit. Yang counts ending socail programs currently in place as how he pays for it.
@@freeisalwaysme The companies subject to this VAT are the ones that stand to gain from automation, such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, and so on. Amazon sells goods to the American people, causing stores and malls across the country to close down. That's where the sales portion comes in, but it is not the only portion, as I said above. Data as a Property Right is another of Yang's proposals. It's now a fact that our data is more valuable than oil, and companies like these use it every day to generate large amounts of cash without us having to make any direct purchases at all. The fact that you're even reading this means that someone got paid, but despite the fact that we all generated that money, we don't see a cent of it back. Not until Yang gets into office and is able to change this, allowing us the right to choose what companies do with our data, which we often are left completely in the dark about, and we also may receive a portion of the enormous wealth being made off of us continuously just for being modern human beings.
@@maxsmart645 Actually, the dividend stacks on top of several programs, including disability. The existence of the dividend doesn't end social programs, but gives people more options than they had before. However, these programs may be less overworked once many current recipients vacate them in favor of a dividend that, unlike traditional welfare, doesn't come with means testing, forcing citizens to constantly re-apply, report their earnings, and live under threat of having the given amount reduced or just altogether taken away because the government suddenly decided they didn't need it anymore. With the dividend, it's a set amount delivered with no questions asked, making it an easy choice for many. For those who prefer their existing programs, they are able to keep them. Either way, the choice is with the individual and not with the government.
@@misternightstar No they dont stack you have to choose Yangs $1000 on the current payment and still be worse off because everything costs more due to the VAT added to everything.
Logical Conservative Well the Freedom Dividend wouldn’t be just a tax on you. it’s a tax on you as well as the entire production of goods so it helps the government tax large tech companies that currently pay no money in Federal income tax. That plus folding in already existing welfare programs. The average American will pay in much less than they receive and then spend that money and put it back into the economy which creates growth. It is not literally a direct transfer from you to government and then back to you.
@Kate From what I understood people can choose between UBI and currently available subsidies. The idea is that you raise the floor and create a safety net: - raise the floor example - while $12k a year is poverty, it sure is easier to start turning your life around when you have $1000/month to begin with, than with ZERO (suddenly you can feed yourself and take a shower before an interview) - safety net example - if you lose your job due to some medical issue (aka lose your income while having to pay for massive costs), you don't start from 0$, you have 1000$/month to help you out. And that does keep a lot of people from falling into permanent poverty. For people that can't work, subsidies other systems will still be required. But, for the vast majority of people under the poverty line, UBI will be better.
Same, Bonnie. He's my guy. One of only two candidates that over 10% of Trump supporters said they would vote for, which means if he's the nominee, he's got this.
The VAT is added to everything. Yang claims he MAY exclude food staples from the tax but thats a MAY not a promise. And if you are on disability Unemployment or receive SNAP you cant receive the benifit. Yang counts ending socail programs currently in place as how he pays for it. Yang says 70 million Americans will lose their jobs to Automation and never work again and then creates a plan that pays only $12000 a year. Thats below the poveety line. The Swiss rejected the $34000 a year UBI because they didnt see why thwy shouls give rich people $34000 a year extra and give the rest of the population such a low rate. Yangs UBI is below the poverty line.
@αlιуαн Most of those polls are done by calling mainly retirees on landline phones, and sometimes it's been noted that Yang's name isn't even brought up by the caller. How many people do you suppose even keep those phones around? That's not a metric we need to be holding up as sacred, especially when we consider how many times they've been wrong in recent election history. Yikes. Yang raised over a million dollars in donations in almost one night, while also gaining the most social media follows and highest campaign website traffic all within the same span of hours. Seems his chances aren't so bad as some would have us believe. I like Sanders, but anyone who votes for him again, I hope it won't be because they were mislead by these kinds of points. In the end, isn't helping the American people what matters most?
Other countries like Finland already has something similar. Wake up America before our work won't even afford us to have a roof over head because of corporate greed in our government. Yang 2020.

Technically no, no other country has implemented a full scale UBI, Saudi Arabia has the most "UBI-like" system, but they don't go full UBI due to bigotry, racism and a "job guarantee" scheme. If the US did REAL UBI first, we could finally say "USA #1" once again, the greatest country on Earth, and thank you Andrew Yang.

The only candidate who doesn't just sit there attacking Trump all day. Gets straight to the point.

@@at1one Milton Friedman is not Andrew Yang. Yang is even for Medicare for All, which is... A government program. Also, his campaign is not accepting any money from PACs. The average donation is around $20. I do not know where you got that from.
The largest group of people donating to Yang are software engineers, and I happen to be one of them, and I work at Amazon of all things! Us techies understand the implications and potential of AI and automation. Frankly, everyone should be much more worried about AI than they are now. Do some research on the recent advancements of deep learning as a primer.
This is by far a great idea. The rich companies can still be rich and still contribute to the economy. Yang knew companies like amazon, facebook will not give their money but they will give if that makes their company richer.
No it isn't. It's an interesting theory, but how do you prevent inflation from eating that measly $1000 a month right up? Once instituted you don't think landlords, businesses, etc. are going to jack up rents and prices? You don't think people, many who would be unaccustomed to handling the extra money, will be willing to pay more for products/services now that they have the additional money? ...just like the theory of the "livable wage" proposition, universal basic income is a minor, temporary band-aid that will be quickly absorbed by a supply/demand market economy. Also, for many, handing them $1000 dollars a month will simply equal $1000 worth of junk food, lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol, jewelry, video games, etc... --- such consumption would add a little back into the economy, but nothing of real value to aid in the PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT necessary to navigate a world of continuing rapid change and immense technological progress. ....................... REAL SOLUTION: "UNIVERSAL BASIC RESOURCES" provide full healthcare, basic food & housing vouchers (that can be added to by each individual as desired), and unlimited education to everyone, so that they no longer have to struggle to stay healthy, or put a roof over their heads, or go without education, but instead can focus fully on BETTERING THEMSELVES... therefore creating a BETTER WORLD for all of us.

@@MyplayLists4Y2Y see vouchers is like welfare man I grew up on welfare, that sounds like redtapes and jumping through hoops. Bernie adopts UBI and we have the best of all worlds, Bernie can do it, his advisers are misleading him on UBI.
@@unknownx7252 SAID: "vouchers is like welfare man..." REPLY: Vouchers, or credits, or whatever you want to call it, for basic resources would be similar to a UBI except that they are only to be used toward Basic Living Resources (e. g. housing, food, etc.), combined with free healthcare and education so that people can then focus on bettering themselves for the 21st century. No hoops to jump through, everyone gets it. Just like Yang's UBI, but without the potential for abuse of funds on items/services that will not directly add real value to aid in the PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT necessary to navigate a world of continuing rapid change and immense technological progress.
Yang is doing it! I see a lot comments saying he is a fringe candidate. Bernie Sanders was fringe candidate in 2016, now he is in a three way tie for the top in polls. If crazy good progressive policies from a low polling candidate are an indicator of who the American public want, yang could very be president in 2020 or 2024, but I could use that $48,000 so let's make it 2020!
Absolutely agree with you. Yang needs to keep fighting and get his name and policies out there. He’s a bit behind in the polls for 2020, maybe he can make up the ground i’m not sure. But by 2024 he will be a very strong candidate.
@αlιуαн what was trumps political record of fighting what the people want before 2016? A lot of UA-cam videos? A lot of tweets? Oh and he was a donor. Yang was helping people find jobs all the way back in 2011.
Bernie/Yang 2020 is my pipe dream.. Imagine a freedom dividend and universal healthcare! America would be back on the road to greatness, back to being a 1st world country!
Do you spend more then a $1000 a month? If so you will lose out with the VAT taking 10% of all your spending. This is only one of the taxes that he is proposing. I'm still undecided but trying to figure all this out.
@@slimpaco3561 you need to spend over $10,000 a month on VAT eligible items (not food, clothing or other staples). Let's say you spend all $1000 on VAT items, you're only paying $100 in actual tax, so you're still benefitting $900 per month.
@@fayjaimike Where did you get the list of proposed VAT eligible items? Also, the VAT is only 1 of several taxes that Yang is proposing, all would have to be considered for direct cost and economic impact. like his carbon tax, financial transaction tax, and removal of capital gains.

Raising the minimum wage and a federal jobs guarantee do absolutely nothing for stay-at-home-parents, caregivers to elderly and/or ailing family, retired people, disabled people, and so on. Raising the minimum wage and a federal jobs guarantee are trash solutions compared to UBI.
The DNC doesn't want him to be and we need more people knowing about him. Honestly I just share links to his different policies on my FB and tell friends and family about him and policies they would like the most from him to pique their interest. There's a fb group where people say all the ways they are promoting his campaign.
@Kate It's important to remember that people will not just quit their jobs once they have a guaranteed income of 12k. I certainly would not be complacent and quit working on 12k a year. One of the biggest ideas behind the whole plan is that it will stimulate activity in the economy and encourage more people to patronize small and local businesses. Small businesses are not only integral to the local US economies in many ways but they are also largely immune to automation and AI. Can you imagine an automated plumber or electrician anytime soon?
Well I reckon maybe 1% would actually quit their jobs (especially if they didn't like their jobs). Also I think it's a bit silly to give a multi-millionaire who has a company that pollutes badly $1000 a month extra, while punishing tech companies. It seems like Pol Pot. Lets punish the educated.
Mr. Yang, I haven't had health insurance since 2001 I'm in bad health I'm 58 years old. I could use $1,000 a year to pay for my health care. That's not asking too much is it?

Especially when you realize that since his UBI will not stack with SNAPS and other welfare programs, it means more and more people will leave it for a "no questions asked" check. What does that mean for all the government social workers? That's right. They go away as Milton Friedman wanted.
Imagine all the homeless people not being in the streets anymore. If some still are, ain’t nobody giving them money because we all know they’re getting 1k a month.

yolo siwa because you didn't bother to look up his 150+ policies... Sanders flip floppwd on Ubi. He was caught on video telling a college student he doesn't support Ubi and laughed it off. Then now he all of a sudden thinks it's a good idea. You can thank Andrew Yang for that
Yang is the man for us. The only guy who will answer every question you give to him spot on. Not changing the subject to rile up the crowds (Bernie, warren), saying a hollow response (harris, booker), or forgetting what the question is (biden).

The Freedom Dividend would massively change our country, our people, and how we live in such a positive way. Imagine how much crime and poverty would be turned on their heads.

UBI is a good policy but Yangs UBI im not into. Why say 70 million Americans will lose their jobs and never work again due to automation and then build a UBI bellow the poverty line? $12000 a year is bellow the 2019 poverty line.
max smart it’s not an end all be all plan. It’s just a start. If Yang becomes president and we all start with UBI, we still have decades before automation becomes a real problem. And by then, many Americans will be able to save and build their own business and hire other Americans to work for them. It’s the trickle up economy. There will still be work, and when every American is able to hit the ground running with this 1K a month, more opportunities will present themselves. We will be able to work for ourselves instead of working for a machine.
@@maxsmart645 Because UBI is supposed to be a catalyst for personal and economic growth. People aren't supposed to just stop working, rather those that lose their job will start a business or pursue another career. The income from those ventures may not be enough to sustain someone so the dividend helps keep them afloat as long as they are supplementing a small amount through their new line of work.
@@moocats Unemploymemt is $1800 a month plus food stamps. Yangs UBI is a $1000 a month. It doesnt stack its either or.

While all the goods and sevices cost more due to Yangs 10% Value Added Tax too.
LISTEN UP!!! If we want Andrew Yang to win the oval office, we have to mobilize and spread the word. If you like his ideas, I highly encourage you read up more up on his policies and start teaching other people about him. Word of mouth is crucial. Make it a goal to bring his campaign up in conversation to at least one or two people a week. Post about it on your social medias. Just get the word out. Once people hear his name enough they'll start to understand what he is fighting for and why he's right.
Or maybe people learn how to design the automation? Or fix the automation when it breaks down? Or build the parts for the automation? Or drive the parts to places where they are needed? We don't need this. We will always be able to adapt without needing to give away free stuff.
You Americans should stop voting for ideologues and demagogues, and seriously start considering intellectuals - those who are actually much much smarter than your average Joes. But knowing Americans, you would probably continue voting along the party lines, cheering for conforming sound bites while ignoring good ideas. Yang appears too bright to be elected.

With Yang's Democracy Dollars, Freedom Dividend, Medicare For All, and Ranked Choice Voting among other things, we can accomplish more in three years than we have in the last ten.

@αlιуαн zero record is better than you think.
@irregularexpression There is a lot.. it's funny cause they just came to hate on a candidate with better policies. Yang2020
@αlιуαн I think he means the candidate who is polling at 6th and was virtually unknown just a few months ago. That candidate.
I’m a Bernie guy but I’m liking this Andrew Yang guy more and more everyday...
Yeah same, I watched some of his interviews and talks like the one at AARP, Rogan, H3H3 and like that totally got me on board his ship. Literally more and more like you said lol
Right! I canvased and nagged all my friends for Bernie in 16. Its really hard for me to get on board with the federal jobs guarantee though. I can't understand what that looks like in the real world. This is elegant in how simple it is. I really can't imagine independents saying they prefer trump over $1000/month, too. If he's the nominee i can't see him losing (though i thought the same about generic democrat 2016).
jjmah7 that’s pretty much how all yang supporters start out. I still really like Bernie but yang is simply superior on domestic issues.
I was Bernie in 2016 but as soon as I looked into Yang saw he was the 21st century change needed. What would it take for you to move to the Yang team from team Bernie?
I liked Bernie as well but Yang is the only way to go he is the only choice
When I first heard about his UBI, I thought "No this guy's crazy, bribing people with money for votes", but then I saw his podcasts with Joe Rogan and even Ben Shapiro. This guy has my full support now. He know's what he's talking about.
theres a reason he's the Entrepreneurial Ambassador for The United States and the world
same thought here. At first I thought it was communism lmao. Turns out I was just being naive.
WE need to tie UBI to GDP at 30% or more to robotics as well so if robotics and GDP increase everyone's income increases... Robotics becomes more efficient anyway in the end... and less production from humans is needed and more fun realms will happen for humans instead of just work! So that's how we have to think...

So far both sides have turned the government into high school a bunch of in mature kids roasting on each other it’s stupid. He’s taking it and turning it into a business that will thrive for years doesn’t matter who you are or support
Big facts
well, Andrew did call Trump fat, which was pretty immature of him. But, he wasn’t lying 🤣
yangs shiny new neoliberal technocratic version of UBI is eerily similar to that proposed capitalist con-man Milton Friedman in his 1962 book “Capitalism and Freedom”and again in his 1980 book "Free to Choose". Sound familiar. But why would Milton Friedman, an outspoken free market capitalist, support UBI? he viewed it as a way to wean the masses off of government programs So that he would have less opposition in privatization of social programs as well as Deregulation and globalization of big business. This is the last thing America needs right now. Do you really think that these millionaires and billionaires would be endorsing him and funding his campaign if it wasn't going to benefit them in the long run. I implore you to do your research before endorsing this capitalist in progressive packaging.
All is one Point taken....that’s why we learn from the past without tossing out the baby with the bath water. Safeguard the legislation unless you’re saying this can’t work no matter how you cut it?? Also i would think one unfortunately has to make it someone what appealing to the millions n billionaires who dominate messaging to the masses.🤷🏾♂️ So it becomes like “Obamacare” or furthermore the concept of universal healthcare, both of which I was and still am a bit skeptical of. BUT......I’m more appalled by the poor quality or total lack of healthcare my fellow Americans are faced with. I guess the good question is well “where does it end” right? I dunno. I just know death, disease and hunger NEVER work so we gotta come up with ideas that DO while moving forward with the concerns you and others bring to the table. Safeguard it👊
Make no mistake - the Reps are the ones most opposed to this. They REFUSE to consider raising corporation taxation to pay for benefits that go to others instead of themselves. Republicans would end SS and Medicare if they were able to.
Raising minimum wage does nothing when your job gets automated but freedom dividend will ensure a small income while in between careers. I'm all in yang 2020!
You are uneducated and shouldn’t talk about things you don’t get. Raising the minimum wage isn’t nothin
Raising the minimum wage and a federal jobs guarantee do absolutely nothing for stay-at-home-parents, caregivers to elderly and/or ailing family, retired people, disabled people, and so on. Raising the minimum wage and a federal jobs guarantee are trash solutions compared to UBI.

No not at all. UBI is a handout given to people as a means of being pawns on a chessboard and does not in no way addresses the fundamental issues causing inequality.
@@kvm1992 and those are....
Yang's Freedom Dividend is paid for in large part by a Value Added Tax on large tech-based companies that stand to benefit from automation. For the sales portion of the various services provided, the VAT would focus on high-end luxury items and not on basic items like food and other everyday products. The average person making regular high-end purchases is the wealthiest among us, meaning the overall reward to poor and middle-class citizens is substantial.
The dividend is just one of 150 policies found on Yang's website, many of which work in tandem with this initiative to broaden the freedoms, strengthen the buying power, and increase productivity of Americans across the country. Considering all this, it's hard not to see Yang as the best choice for president in these modern times.
That doesn't make sense. Its sales tax on high end goods teh wealthy pay. Like what yatchs and cars? We are a consumer economy. Driven by the poor and middle class. If the rich could spend enough to get us out of recessions. They would've. If hte problem is automation. Why not tax robots and automation to help fund the UBI? I'm not against the UBI but his plan leaves alot of holes and unexplained funding mechanisms.
The VAT is added to everything.
Yang claims he MAY exclude food staples from the tax but thats a MAY not a promise.
And if you are on disability Unemployment or receive SNAP you cant receive the benifit.
Yang counts ending socail programs currently in place as how he pays for it.
@@freeisalwaysme The companies subject to this VAT are the ones that stand to gain from automation, such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, and so on. Amazon sells goods to the American people, causing stores and malls across the country to close down. That's where the sales portion comes in, but it is not the only portion, as I said above.
Data as a Property Right is another of Yang's proposals. It's now a fact that our data is more valuable than oil, and companies like these use it every day to generate large amounts of cash without us having to make any direct purchases at all. The fact that you're even reading this means that someone got paid, but despite the fact that we all generated that money, we don't see a cent of it back. Not until Yang gets into office and is able to change this, allowing us the right to choose what companies do with our data, which we often are left completely in the dark about, and we also may receive a portion of the enormous wealth being made off of us continuously just for being modern human beings.
@@maxsmart645 Actually, the dividend stacks on top of several programs, including disability. The existence of the dividend doesn't end social programs, but gives people more options than they had before. However, these programs may be less overworked once many current recipients vacate them in favor of a dividend that, unlike traditional welfare, doesn't come with means testing, forcing citizens to constantly re-apply, report their earnings, and live under threat of having the given amount reduced or just altogether taken away because the government suddenly decided they didn't need it anymore. With the dividend, it's a set amount delivered with no questions asked, making it an easy choice for many. For those who prefer their existing programs, they are able to keep them. Either way, the choice is with the individual and not with the government.
@@misternightstar
No they dont stack you have to choose Yangs $1000 on the current payment and still be worse off because everything costs more due to the VAT added to everything.

Thanks so much GUYS!
Logical Conservative
Well the Freedom Dividend wouldn’t be just a tax on you. it’s a tax on you as well as the entire production of goods so it helps the government tax large tech companies that currently pay no money in Federal income tax. That plus folding in already existing welfare programs. The average American will pay in much less than they receive and then spend that money and put it back into the economy which creates growth. It is not literally a direct transfer from you to government and then back to you.
@Kate From what I understood people can choose between UBI and currently available subsidies.
The idea is that you raise the floor and create a safety net:
- raise the floor example - while $12k a year is poverty, it sure is easier to start turning your life around when you have $1000/month to begin with, than with ZERO (suddenly you can feed yourself and take a shower before an interview)
- safety net example - if you lose your job due to some medical issue (aka lose your income while having to pay for massive costs), you don't start from 0$, you have 1000$/month to help you out. And that does keep a lot of people from falling into permanent poverty.
For people that can't work, subsidies other systems will still be required. But, for the vast majority of people under the poverty line, UBI will be better.
@Kate If they can't work due to disability, the $12k a year can be stacked with SSDI and Veteran's Disability
@@FactsFirst but for now, you got nothing back for what you pay. At least he gives back 1k per month.

Yang says 70 million Americans will lose their jobs to Automation and never work again and then creates a plan that pays only $12000 a year. Thats below the poveety line.
The Swiss rejected the $34000 a year UBI because they didnt see why thwy shouls give rich people $34000 a year extra and give the rest of the population such a low rate.
Yangs UBI is below the poverty line.
@@maxsmart645 do you just copy and paste the same comment? You've been exposed
@αlιуαн Most of those polls are done by calling mainly retirees on landline phones, and sometimes it's been noted that Yang's name isn't even brought up by the caller. How many people do you suppose even keep those phones around? That's not a metric we need to be holding up as sacred, especially when we consider how many times they've been wrong in recent election history. Yikes.

Technically no, no other country has implemented a full scale UBI, Saudi Arabia has the most "UBI-like" system, but they don't go full UBI due to bigotry, racism and a "job guarantee" scheme. If the US did REAL UBI first, we could finally say "USA #1" once again, the greatest country on Earth, and thank you Andrew Yang.

The largest group of people donating to Yang are software engineers, and I happen to be one of them, and I work at Amazon of all things! Us techies understand the implications and potential of AI and automation. Frankly, everyone should be much more worried about AI than they are now. Do some research on the recent advancements of deep learning as a primer.
All is one Yang has has taken zero cents from corporate donors. Please stop spreading lies.
This is by far a great idea. The rich companies can still be rich and still contribute to the economy. Yang knew companies like amazon, facebook will not give their money but they will give if that makes their company richer.
That's why I can't wrap around my mind why some people are against this, it's simply allowing cash to flow. Cash flow is good for all not just some.
No it isn't.
It's an interesting theory, but how do you prevent inflation from eating that measly $1000 a month right up? Once instituted you don't think landlords, businesses, etc. are going to jack up rents and prices? You don't think people, many who would be unaccustomed to handling the extra money, will be willing to pay more for products/services now that they have the additional money? ...just like the theory of the "livable wage" proposition, universal basic income is a minor, temporary band-aid that will be quickly absorbed by a supply/demand market economy.
Also, for many, handing them $1000 dollars a month will simply equal $1000 worth of junk food, lottery tickets, cigarettes, alcohol, jewelry, video games, etc... --- such consumption would add a little back into the economy, but nothing of real value to aid in the PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT necessary to navigate a world of continuing rapid change and immense technological progress.

REAL SOLUTION: "UNIVERSAL BASIC RESOURCES" provide full healthcare, basic food & housing vouchers (that can be added to by each individual as desired), and unlimited education to everyone, so that they no longer have to struggle to stay healthy, or put a roof over their heads, or go without education, but instead can focus fully on BETTERING THEMSELVES... therefore creating a BETTER WORLD for all of us.

REPLY: Vouchers, or credits, or whatever you want to call it, for basic resources would be similar to a UBI except that they are only to be used toward Basic Living Resources (e. g. housing, food, etc.), combined with free healthcare and education so that people can then focus on bettering themselves for the 21st century. No hoops to jump through, everyone gets it. Just like Yang's UBI, but without the potential for abuse of funds on items/services that will not directly add real value to aid in the PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT necessary to navigate a world of continuing rapid change and immense technological progress.
Yang is doing it! I see a lot comments saying he is a fringe candidate. Bernie Sanders was fringe candidate in 2016, now he is in a three way tie for the top in polls. If crazy good progressive policies from a low polling candidate are an indicator of who the American public want, yang could very be president in 2020 or 2024, but I could use that $48,000 so let's make it 2020!

Absolutely agree with you. Yang needs to keep fighting and get his name and policies out there. He’s a bit behind in the polls for 2020, maybe he can make up the ground i’m not sure. But by 2024 he will be a very strong candidate.
@αlιуαн what was trumps political record of fighting what the people want before 2016? A lot of UA-cam videos? A lot of tweets? Oh and he was a donor. Yang was helping people find jobs all the way back in 2011.

@Kate 12k a year is better than 0. Poverty is better than living in tent City. I made 10k last nearly a whole year, and lived comfortably.
The DNC doesn't want him to be and we need more people knowing about him. Honestly I just share links to his different policies on my FB and tell friends and family about him and policies they would like the most from him to pique their interest. There's a fb group where people say all the ways they are promoting his campaign.
@Kate It's important to remember that people will not just quit their jobs once they have a guaranteed income of 12k. I certainly would not be complacent and quit working on 12k a year. One of the biggest ideas behind the whole plan is that it will stimulate activity in the economy and encourage more people to patronize small and local businesses. Small businesses are not only integral to the local US economies in many ways but they are also largely immune to automation and AI. Can you imagine an automated plumber or electrician anytime soon?
Well I reckon maybe 1% would actually quit their jobs (especially if they didn't like their jobs). Also I think it's a bit silly to give a multi-millionaire who has a company that pollutes badly $1000 a month extra, while punishing tech companies. It seems like Pol Pot. Lets punish the educated.
Mr. Yang, I haven't had health insurance since 2001 I'm in bad health I'm 58 years old. I could use $1,000 a year to pay for my health care. That's not asking too much is it?
It would be $1k a month, and I'm sure based on what you said you would benefit from an extra $12k a year. In addition to his Medicare for All plan.
Yang - Here’s $1,000 per month. $12,000 a year. Gonna give that to you free and clear CASH. Also will have medicare for all so you don’t have to struggle anymore. How does that sound?
His will be a doctored capitalist version medicare for all that will fail and end in more privatization.

Amazing concept in books and in reality. No questions asked!
Keep going Andrew! God Speed!
Yes please
If trump is going to be beat, I want it to be done by this guy because everyone else running for president is insane in the head
@Ramp Shark yes he is
@Crickett Well if you are comparing who is worst in terms of the government expanding, Yang is the least offensive. Especially when you realize that since his UBI will not stack with SNAPS and other welfare programs, it means more and more people will leave it for a "no questions asked" check. What does that mean for all the government social workers? That's right. They go away as Milton Friedman wanted.
You can the fund freedom the dividend by cutting funding to Israel.
Imagine all the homeless people not being in the streets anymore. If some still are, ain’t nobody giving them money because we all know they’re getting 1k a month.
Charles Dinkins I’m pretty sure the last thing a homeless person would spend their money on is drugs.
Charles Dinkins I live in San Jose so plenty of homeless people here and most are not crackheads. Just people trying to live.
Andrew Yang 2024
Well dam" I think we got a winner haha
I don't know why people would vote for anyone else.
Because he only talks about UBI and nothing else...Bernie all the way. UBI is nice but Bernie’s reforms are more comprehensive. Plus he supports UBI too.
yolo siwa because you didn't bother to look up his 150+ policies...
Sanders flip floppwd on Ubi. He was caught on video telling a college student he doesn't support Ubi and laughed it off. Then now he all of a sudden thinks it's a good idea. You can thank Andrew Yang for that
Yang, the smartest candidate...enough said
He's got my vote! The only Democrat who makes sense and isn't full of himself!
Perfect. Yang is the man.
YANG 2020🇺🇸
MEXICANS FOR YANG‼️
This is just his beginning, a great one. What about the future until 2024? Even better
Trickle Up Economy and Virtuous Cycle (as opposed to Vicious Cycle) are two buzz words that I think will poll well.
Yang keep saying them!!
I actually learned something new! Very interesting this candidate.
Defintely voting for this guy, how about you?
No. Less government!
@@rocroc2954 That's why he's proposing the UBI, it's tax free, no reporting, less administrative costs.
We need it now!
His other policies are also great and need to get more attention
If he doesn’t atleast get VP for the nominee, this country has been done a great disservice.
Yang is the man for us. The only guy who will answer every question you give to him spot on. Not changing the subject to rile up the crowds (Bernie, warren), saying a hollow response (harris, booker), or forgetting what the question is (biden). A citizenry gets the leader they deserve, and we all deserve Yang.
ANDREW YANG HAS MY FULL SUPPORT
The Freedom Dividend would massively change our country, our people, and how we live in such a positive way. Imagine how much crime and poverty would be turned on their heads.
It’s not perfect but it works.
Nothing is perfect. If everything is perfect then money won't be a thing, religion won't be a thing, most ideologies today won't be a thing. We just live life.
It works by keeping us distracted by giving us crumbs so they can gut the government and privatize everything. How would $12000yr Solve the problem of a truck driver who make 60000 a year losing his job to automation.
Just like trump
All is one it’s just suppose to support you so you won’t go into poverty but also isn’t enough to live off it so you wont be lazy. It helps with small loans or just extra help to pay off those debts and groceries you need to buy and stuff so after all the debts and everything you can easily get a house and start a business and etc.
@@at1one Ensuring that he has breathing room to find opportunities for a new long-term job while he works a minimum wage one in addition to receiving his $12,000 a year. It's better than the alternative of him struggling without any assistance whatsoever.
If he doesn’t win, this should be pushed to whoever else is president.
ALSO, a VERY COMMON MISCONCEPTION!!!
The $1000 that we receive does NOT DISAPPEAR INTO THIN AIR. It gets REINVESTED BACK into the system and the economy. I repeat; it does *NOT DISAPPEAR.*
I'm voting for him
such a brilliant candidate. i’m so glad to see he’s getting the attention he deserves
Only LEGAL us citizens 18+ will receive the 1000$ a month I think trump supporters could get on board with that
Yang’s UBI might be flawed but it is a an actual policy unlike the platitudes booty judge and copmala spewed to dismiss this interesting idea
UBI is a good policy but Yangs UBI im not into.
Why say 70 million Americans will lose their jobs and never work again due to automation and then build a UBI bellow the poverty line?
$12000 a year is bellow the 2019 poverty line.
max smart it’s not an end all be all plan. It’s just a start. If Yang becomes president and we all start with UBI, we still have decades before automation becomes a real problem. And by then, many Americans will be able to save and build their own business and hire other Americans to work for them. It’s the trickle up economy. There will still be work, and when every American is able to hit the ground running with this 1K a month, more opportunities will present themselves. We will be able to work for ourselves instead of working for a machine.
@@maxsmart645 Because UBI is supposed to be a catalyst for personal and economic growth. People aren't supposed to just stop working, rather those that lose their job will start a business or pursue another career. The income from those ventures may not be enough to sustain someone so the dividend helps keep them afloat as long as they are supplementing a small amount through their new line of work.
@@moocats
Unemploymemt is $1800 a month plus food stamps.
Yangs UBI is a $1000 a month. It doesnt stack its either or.
And if you think you can live on $12000 a year after being sacked with 70 million other Americans due to Automation and start a business while being bellow the poverty line... well i like your optimistic outlook.
While all the goods and sevices cost more due to Yangs 10% Value Added Tax too.
@@isaacsamuel6035
If you think you can feed yourself and pay rent on a $1000 a month and still start a new buisness..
Go Yang!
A VAT is basically a hidden sales tax. You’re paying for it, not the company.
If Andrew Yang can unite a UA-cam comments section, he can unite a country. Yang 2020!
4 years later I still believe in Yang 😢
LISTEN UP!!! If we want Andrew Yang to win the oval office, we have to mobilize and spread the word. If you like his ideas, I highly encourage you read up more up on his policies and start teaching other people about him. Word of mouth is crucial.
Make it a goal to bring his campaign up in conversation to at least one or two people a week. Post about it on your social medias. Just get the word out. Once people hear his name enough they'll start to understand what he is fighting for and why he's right.
This guy as potus will set the bar for others to follow.
We need it now !!!
Or maybe people learn how to design the automation? Or fix the automation when it breaks down? Or build the parts for the automation? Or drive the parts to places where they are needed? We don't need this. We will always be able to adapt without needing to give away free stuff.
How does this not have more views after 14 hours now?
You Americans should stop voting for ideologues and demagogues, and seriously start considering intellectuals - those who are actually much much smarter than your average Joes. But knowing Americans, you would probably continue voting along the party lines, cheering for conforming sound bites while ignoring good ideas. Yang appears too bright to be elected.
I am a simple man: I see Yang, I click Like.
Wu Assassin’s brought me here.
share it with your fellow Wu
I just donated to Andrew Yang’s campaign. First time I ever donated to a candidate. He doesn’t take any PAC funding and is powered by the people. If you can please support the man with a true vision for the people! YANG2020!!
We need this man as POTUS. He's an actual problem solver.
