Hey, Chris here — what would you do with Andrew Yang’s proposed Universal Basic Income allowance?
It would free up $380/mo in student loans and i can use it to pay for my real estate class and some on investments
CHRIS, GREAT QUESTION! IF I HAVE ONE THOUNSAND DOLLAR FREEDOM DIVIDEND, I WILL ONLY WORK HALF DAY TO EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO FEED ME AND FAMILY. THE REST OF THE DAY I CAN DO MY RESEARCH AND WRITE NEW MEDICAL THEORIES, AND BUILD UP MY OWN BUSINESS. FREEDOM DIVIDEND GIVE ME POWER TO RISK on new adventure.
@T great!
Hey, Fredo here — what would you do with Andrew Yang’s proposed Universal Basic Income allowance?
@KyleQuest Lord help…. Are Libs truly this incapable of following the main idea of a discussion?
All the MSM seems to be doing a lot more content on Yang… when several months ago he was a joke… It’s unfortunate that MSM notices that Yang brings in more views, therefore they are doing more interviews with him. We’ve been trying to tell you guys about Yang. I guess if the people want to go back and forth, left and right with no actual substantial gain in society you can vote for someone else.. I’m voting forward.. #yang2020
get real adam………if yang wasn’t another puppet he wouldn’t be on msm.
He seems like someone who would legalise eating dog and bring the dog meat trade to America
Ryback Smith did…did you just say to get real. He literally fucking boycotted MSNBC because they fucked him over so many times. He’s on CNN to get his message across.
K you seem like the type of person to have zero experience with an educational conversation. Me typing this is a waste of time for me.
Yang for the people
Juan Arroyo Tell people to get registered and vote. Iowa is up first GO VOTE!! Yang gang #AndrewYang #ubi
@Jay H YING YANG SUCKS
No if yang was really for the people he would never get interviews on msm.
Chicken yang
Well Andrew Yang is the smartest. He’s getting meaningful coverage for free! And he probably made sure the timing of the airing of these taped interviews were around the last debate. Well the world definitely needs a smart leader! Keep him trending Yang Gang! 👍👍👍👍
Tell people to get registered and vote. Iowa is up first GO VOTE!! Yang gang #AndrewYang #ubi
This man has literally pulled me out of my depression.
Me too. He puts a smile on my face.
Yooooooooo fr though 🤣👏🏾
Mine too….for a minute. I really need that $1K right now
Arizona Railfan LOLZ 😂
*This is the man we need share share share and support Yang he is the only person aware of the reality of America’s future*
@Lone King He doesn’t know we printed 4.5 trillion to bailout banks.
@DuckSwayBobWeave
It’s “socialism” for us but not for the banks or corporations.
Hypocrites with no self awareness.
@Lone King Exactly, I’m with you.
Asians don’t even know where their civil rights in this country came from. Asians, Hispanics/ foreigners don’t know America half as well as they think they do
@Justice Warrior lol $12k a year will not cause mass unemployment in the US. The European unemployment is largely driven by underlying weakness of job creation and global competitiveness.
Yang is sounding better and better.
@dvelilla awww you actually made me fell warm in my heart. How dare you!
Oh please you’ve seen nothing yet. He’s just warming up.
@dvelilla Brainwashed beyond repair. I feel sorry for people like you. Smh 😔
@dvelilla Hey dvelilla, May I ask why you feel trump is sounding better? (not an attack just wondering what your point of view is)
Andrew Yang has a genius level IQ and will save America
WARNING: Listening to any long form interview of Andrew Yang WILL convert you to a member of the Yang Gang.
If you have 25 minutes to hear a brilliant mind give great solutions to a troubled nation, go to Andrew Yang’s greatest interview below.

You’re welcome,
@SamePicOfYang
while i can honestly say he some good ideas, certainly a forward looking individual… but i can say i’ve also listened to several interviews of his and i’m not a convert, still donating to sanders because his is a better systemic change, imo.
as for the best change, not entirely sure tech giants that would foster his future are on ‘our’ side, i think perhaps profits over people is the real current tech industry and i’m not willing to gamble my trust with them.
@islandbee 1k/month is an insult and pocket change, the minute you institute that, the conservatives will cut aid programs… some have said as much already.
@paladro – This essentially puts a price floor on labor. Making $1000 the new ZERO. As a result, everything will raise in price because there’ll be more people with this unearned money driving prices up.
I’m sorry marc but yang is just another puppet of the jews.
@islandbee Hi islandbee, this is a common misconception about UBI. Recirculating money does not cause inflation, printing more money does. Also, inflation has mostly been affecting Housing, Education, and Medicare in the past couple decades and Yang has separate plans to tackle those.
Andrew Yang has my vote 2020. Lets get on the Andrew Yang train and get him in office. The more money we have in our pockets to spend the better the economy. Simple economics.
Yang 2020. Please America, try to hear him out and understand his vision.
Andrew Yang policies will be great for America. He just needs media coverage more to improve name recognition
And fewer bad jokes and racist sounding statements.
if he was good for america he wouldn’t be on msm sunshine.
“Climb to the hilltop and tell others behind us what we see. And build a society we want on the other side. The rest of you get up, its time to go. What makes you human. The better world is still possible. Come fight with me.” Andrew Yang – [The War on Normal People]
absolutely correct because the europeans have tried this experiment and it actually works
Mario Comparan well, not in the next presidential cycle. KAG 2020!
@Caroline Siegel Hey Caroline, we can totally do this in america. America has the richest economy in the history of the world and we could easily afford a dividend. It would greatly benefit the UK as well, since it actually hasn’t been tried there yet. I think you might be confusing this with social welfare programs and cash handouts which aren’t universal.
@jerry robinson The oil dividend in alaska has actually been highly popular in alaska and the people love it, keep in mind this was passed by a republican senator who simply asked the people “who do you want to get this money, the people or the government?” and the people chose themselves.
@Lorric Logging shouldve known you are a trumptard
@xMFDBenD theyre trumptards, dont waste your time
The more you listen to him, the more he makes sense- I mean, its something that will benefit all Americans- and hopefully this will catch on elsewhere
What people haven’t thought about is that economic periods typically lasts 30-40 years. The Neoliberal era’s lifespan has come to an end with the Great Recession. Globally, we’re about to begin a new economic era. This is why electing Andrew Yang is so vital! As he would ignite an age of Human Centered Capitalism. And yes, it would spread across all OECD countries.
Exactly, Yang 2020!
Once in a lifetime candidate. This is the President for all Americans.
It’s not a red problem. It’s not a blue problem. It’s just a f’kn problem that we need to solve. And solve NOW. No time or room for hate. That’s why I’m voting for Andrew Yang
@Frank Bellomo it’s actually not . GDP and the stock market means nothing, only half of americans own stocks and the bottom 80% own 8% of stock market wealth. 70% of americans live paycheck to paycheck so what is your obsession with it? Low unemployment numbers are skewed because many are working 2-3 low paying jobs with no benefits, and many retired people has had to enter back into the workforce. Lets not get on that awful tax scam
@K Yang I have a small business in New York. Now that I can compete with China my work forces from 3 salespeople to ten salespeople. I can’t complain not one bit. All I can say is God bless Donald Trump. And if the Democrats could leave Trump alone and let him run this country like a business the ones who aren’t doing that good right now will. And the only people that will lose are people who don’t want to work who don’t want to contribute to the just want to complain about every aspect of life. The Democrats do not have a plan all I want to do is tell you what’s wrong and who’s to blame. And if you think the top 1% I’m going to pay your bills I’m sorry but you guys are morons
Real smart move e cab, I bet you are an entrepreneur also.
@Frank Bellomo You don’t even know me so don’t project on what my responses would be.
@Frank Bellomo Hi Frank, may I ask which trump policy has directly affected your business and allowed you to grow?
America needs Yang. The world needs Yang. Humanity needs Yang.
no.. with no public service to his name, i doubt he would get much done with government red tape and existing law. look at obama, they stonewalled him and he got nothing meaningful accomplished. how is yang, in low, single digit support going to accomplish these lofty changes?
he needs to keep up his message(overwhelmingly positive and forward looking) and change peoples minds from the outside, or look closer at that math of his and recognize his low statistically probability of winning and drop out.
You know his the one when other candidates uses his arguments. Has that happened before?
Please listen to this man. He has the solution for our needs as a whole country… my president Yang let’s make history together
This man is a visionary. Every other candidate is debating like it’s 1990 (30 years ago for you Bernie and Warren supporters)
