How Universal Basic Income Would Work, According to Andrew Yang | Opinions | NowThis

‘It is not too good to be true.’ — Andrew Yang, 2020 election candidate, wants to give you and every other American adult $1,000 a month. Here’s how that would work.

In US news and current events today, Andrew Yang, 2020 election candidate, sat down with NowThis News to defend his advocacy for basic income, explained as giving each American adult a monthly stipend for free. According to Andrew Yang, basic income is a strong solution for the United States and the problems it faces. Yang's campaign will be running a basic income experiment to prove that it works. But some on the other side of the basic income debate believe there's a negative possible outcome from universal basic income: Inflation. Americans might see basic income and other ways to fix capitalism pop up from politicians in the near future.

I’m a Bernie guy but I’m liking this Andrew Yang guy more and more everyday...

[armandoarellano]

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.

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!

He is right most us normal ppl would just pay bills with it and then still work like crazy. It could work

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

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.

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.

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.

Yang is right, a basic income is inevitable, the question is how long till it’s implemented.

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!

The only candidate who doesn't just sit there attacking Trump all day. Gets straight to the point. Has innovative ideas. and....I read somewhere that he has an IQ of genius levels so that will do well when Trump starts the whole "Im smarter than you. I'm the smartest candidate. So smart. I passed many tests. Huge tests. Hard tests. The hardest of tests. No ones taken tests like me"

[BiG_SorD]

It’s not about right or left it’s about moving forward

[fraudgzz]

1 like =Yang!
Give him all the support😉

[DailyHit]

Let's pray that this once in a life time candidate doesnt get assassinated for trying to change all of America for the better

[ISpeakHTML]

This is the first time I’ve heard a policy plan actually explained on how it would work from politics, much love and support from me Yang! (:

[LaggyMcStab]

If he can unite a comment section he can unite a country!

If you are a young person, please tell your parents and family about Andrew Yang! That's the best way is word of mouth!
