I've done the research. I've watched all the Democratic Debates and all the candidate's interviews. I support Andrew Yang because I’m worried that we are not emotionally and financially ready for the future, a future where robotics and automation are taking over retail, call center and transportation jobs.
Are you seeing malls closing in your town? Are you seeing more self service kiosks? How many times are you speaking to a robot on the customer phone line? These irreversible changes have one thing is common, technology.
No one is addressing this head on. Andrew Yang is. Big tech corporations (like Amazon, Google, Facebook) pay little to no federal taxes as they suck up billions in profits. What happens to the laid off retail worker? The gig workforce is growing. More Americans are increasingly working 2+ jobs, but can’t afford medical insurance. Automation is silently killing our jobs. As a result, the standard of living is down by 15%. I’m sad to see more and more senior citizens working, when they should be enjoying their golden years.
I see how fast today’s technology is growing because I work for a company that develops automated, machine learning (ML) software. Our product reduces time consuming repetitive tasks of humans. It is HUGE because companies save millions of dollars. Why pay salaries, medical benefits and overtime when technology can work smarter, cheaper and faster 24 hours? Technology is replacing us in hospitals, farms, law firms, restaurants and more. Heck, even my tech sales job could be automated in the not to distant future!
Yang’s solution is to give every citizen, 18+ years old, a check for $1,000/month, called the Freedom Dividend (FD) or Universal Basic Income. The funding will come from various sources such as a 10% VAT (Value Added Tax). It will affect big spenders such as corporations or people buying luxury items (like a $150,000 yacht) or services. Not all goods (such as food and clothing) will be taxed. This would add $800,000,000 in new revenue. The U.S. has a $19 trillion economy.
Alaska enacted a similar and successful program in the 1970’s. They receive about $1,000/year and it’s funded by oil. Technology will fund the FD. What would you do with $1,000/month? I would make home repairs, buy a car, and volunteer more. It’ll reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and improve mental and physical health.
Do you believe that Americans should be the shareholders of this economy and earn a slice of the billion dollar profits? 75% of Americans are struggling from paycheck to paycheck. This will get the boot off our necks and will result in what he calls the “trickle up economy”. We’ll decide how to spend it, not the government. Yang wants to work for us. He wants us to have the freedom to choose how we want to live with dignity. I truly believe a Financial Revolution will help America survive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution!
I encourage you to review his other 100+ detailed policies such as Medicare for All and Human Centered Capitalism on https://www.yang2020.com/
He’s a problem solver, not a platitude seeker. He’s not judgmental. He’s laser focused. He’s intelligent. He cares for all Americans. It’s not left. It’s not right. It’s forward.
“Humanity first. We need to rewrite the rules of the 21st century economy to work for us.” - Andrew Yang
