    2. @IF6WAS9 honestly maybe. This guy can do whatever he sets his mind to. Who knows? Maybe we’ll be surprised and he’ll be the first professional drift racing president!

    1. @cj p Do you consume alcohol? That is a drug and far more dangerous then pot, it is just accepted in society so we think of if differently but it is just the same. If you do not drink, then please disregard everything I just said ๐Ÿ™‚

    5. @Dragon Rue I hate getting drunk. At least I can still drive stoned.
      I don’t even smoke anymore because I don’t know where to get any.

  3. “It’s about what’s going to work in practice.” These are words I want to hear from a President. Dreams are great, but actual moral solutions based on math and science are what we need.

  5. Good for Yang. He did not bite on the “Burnett-Bate” of the question if Liz & Bernie are “vilifying the wealthy”?

    2. @Mulinaster Your Mayor has not done anything for the diseffected in South Bend, while Andrew spent 7 years of his life trying his best to improve the lives of the diseffected with Venture of America. Now Your Mayor Pete is making up things and lying to the black community to try to get their vote so he can win. Your Mayore is dishonest and is more of same. He is the same as most of the rest of the democrats. A cult of good for nothings living off the backs of the working class. Open your eyes. There is a video on Youtube where he Pete literally plagiarized Andrew Yang about automation just as Biden plagarized him. Biden and Pete are both jokes who can give flowery speeches with their flowery white smiles, but who won’t be able to do a goddamn thing for the people of America, but pretend like they will just to get your vote. Sorry to burst your bubble about Pete. Do the research and you will find out just how much of a fraud he is. He has no solutions, he is just talk and looks, and worse, a plagiarizer and phony. Andrew actually has solutions and has spent his time trying to lift poor communities. Think about that when you think about who is truly worthy of the mantle of presidency.

    3. @AllureOfLore Honestly sounds like you haven’t taken the time to read about Buttigieg’s policy positions in the slightest. Projecting much? Also, using a stock photo to supplement a generic statement is not the same as lying. No direct proof of plagiarism, either. Get your facts straight.

    4. @Mulinaster Watch the video on Youtube. Pete copies Yang. Also, watch vidoes on Youtube where Pete gets hate from the black community and read the comments. There’s your facts. You also did not acknowledge the positive points that I made about Yang. Pete’s campaign literally put people’s names on his campaign to claim them as advocates for his campaign, and it is a blatant deception. Those people called and said I never endorsed Pete’s campaign. There’s a video on YouTube explaining that as well. This is the track record of Pete already. If a candidate has to be dishonest to get supporters you should be questioning their competency as a leader and a doer. You are right I didn’t look at Pete’s policies and I don’t have to in order to know that he is basically the same as Yang except Yang has a record of actually creating jobs and trying to lift small communities, and Pete was a mayor of a city with plenty of poor people and he has no track record of helping them, so when he asked for the black people’s support there were plenty that were angered by his attempt. Restating my points again here, Yang had solutions, and Pete started copying them and did not credit Yang at all during his campaign. It’s character and ability to see solutions that matters. Yang’s is better at these 2 things thus far. Can’t make me vote for Pete. You can vote for who you want. Just try to examine the character, actions, track-records of both to come to a vote.

  7. It is inspirational to see conservatives and independents to support a democratic candidate. They are savvy enough to know Andrew Yang genuinely wants to get things done, improve the life of every American and build the country together.

    Yang is the uniter. He does not feed on peopleโ€™s anger, does not condemn to condemn and can crack jokes even in the worst situation.

    1. โ€‹@Sam Fang You have no clue what’s going on. I’m actually not in favor of capitalism. Consumers buy to fill their short term impulses, and companies then are encouraged to appeal to these impulses without any real care for the long-term psychological or physical well-being of the consumer beyond whether or not they buy the product. This cycle always leads to a society of fat, unhealthy, depressed hedonists. Even if everyone could suddenly afford their rent, we’d still be facing societal collapse in this manner eventually.

      But more imminently threatening is the fact that white people are already being replaced by immigrants who will vote for liberal politicians that will put exclusively liberal judges (who flat out ignore the constitution) into the supreme court. That probably won’t be stopped by Trump, but it DEFINITELY won’t be stopped by Yang. Trump and the conservative movement COULD be radicalized to actually do something about this if the right things happened, but honestly I don’t expect it. Still, Trump’s got my vote and that’s why.

    2. @Nate There’s a term Human Centered Capitalism that directly addresses the issue you are saying. This is important. Uncontrolled capitalism will eat itself and the people who live within. People’s actual conditions need to be placed center of the system. The fact that uncontrolled capitalism is bad, does it mean we need socialism? No. We need Human Centered Capitalism. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/human-capitalism/

    3. @Sam Fang His criticism is flawed because he assumes that consumers know and want what’s best for themselves. The reality is that there has to be a state with a lot of power in order for this type of improvement, because other interest groups already control public opinion.

      What’s he going to do about the immigration problem that’s leading the country more and more to the far left?

      Reply

    4. @Nate If you look at what’s going on with UK and France, the populist is on the rise due to the scare towards immigration and refugees. It is a scarcity mindset. When people don’t have their basic needs fulfilled, they point figures. Who’s the easiest to point to, foreigners!

      People know what they want. This is indeed questionable. Even if you claim you know but you are influenced by others unconscientiously. We are in a consuming society. This is actually a different topic besides Yang. I advise whoever is interested he/she should look into minimalism.

      Imagine a person who believes in and practice minimalism, and he/she receives 1000 a month and each month, the person is ultimately free!

    5. @Sam Fang Who do minorities and immigrants tend to vote for? Liberals. Whose birth rates are falling below replacement rates? Whites. Whose aren’t? Mexicans. Whites are being replaced. Yang will not stop it.

    1. @Collin Aldridge Medical CBD requires prescription by a licensed provider and then one has to go to an approved facility to purchase the CBD. This is more restricting that getting a narcotic prescription from a physician. CBD that you buy off Amazon which is what you are probably thinking of is totally unregulated and is probably worthless. And there is nothing wrong with me, to answer your question.

    1. @Christine Eikeri I’ve yet to hear ANY Democratic candidates plan with supporting details on why they will be better than Trump. Appears you like Yang, how exactly is he going to lift 80% out of the “paycheck to paycheck” rut “810” of people are in ?

    4. People seem to think this guy is well intentioned but a lot of his ideas seem dangerously open to exploitation. Two classic examples which alone are disturbing but put together are outright Orwellian… educating kids about which sources of information can be trusted and how to find so called verified sources, then the other…. giving the vote to 16 year olds. Presumably verified sources would be government endorsed or recommended by some quasi governmental organisation. If these kids are fed biased sources upon which to base their world view then let loose with a vote at 16 the result is going to be very predictable. Schools would essentially be churning out voting droids en masse. As a parent I would prefer if schools stayed out of this kind of thing.

      Reply

    5. @James McD I agree, 18 years is an excellent cutoff date because it allows children the ability to FINISH high school, some retrospective, and to see academia for its liberal tendencies. Better than being in the exact center of the whirlwind.

      It’s easy to be a liberal if you’ve only finished high school or even have a 4-year college degree and haven’t exposed yourself to more reading material/philosophy outside mainstream thought.

  10. This is getting too easy for Yang. I wish the MSM would ask some really hard questions for this man, Yang answered these questions like it was childโ€™s play. What he said about not getting caught up in emotions really woke me up. Sucks that politics has turned into hating on each other. Really hope Andrew Yang wins for the sake of all of us.

    3. โ€‹@ScootMagoot46 even in the countries that do collect wealth tax, it’s not like their main source of revenue. usually wealth tax accounts for 1-3% of revenue. VAT is much much higher, and it is how countries like Norway or Denmark fund their large social programs. Yang is the only candidate proposing VAT, so he is the only candidate serious about funding large social programs ($1000/month for all americans)

    3. @ScootMagoot46 He’s not standing up for billionaires in the wealth tax vs VAT debate. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Sanders’ and Warren’s wealth tax policies are great in theory, but they will face massive compliancy problems that will ultimately result in generating less revenue than expected. Yang’s VAT is a more effect method of generating tax revenue off the backs of those who consume the most in society (businesses and billionaires!). It also doesn’t run the risk of collapsing the stock market due to forcing billionaires into liquidating their assets to cover the tax. I (and Yang) don’t feel any pity for billionaires having to start paying their fair share, but it’s important to do it in a methodical and pragmatic way

    1. Thomas Stovall This isnโ€™t about the pilot being drunk or high.

      Iโ€™m asking you would you get on a plane with the pilot being high on marijuana or sober?

    2. @ร† N I ฦŽ M A obviously I would prefer a sober pilot. But, I wouldn’t avoid the flight simply because the pilot was high on pot. I would prefer that to an exhausted pilot any day.

      Reply

    3. Thomas Stovall Thank you for responding to my question. I truly believe anyone would prefer their lives to be placed in the hands of a sober person before a high on marijuana person.

      If weed ever becomes legal…..these are things that are gonna become a problem.

      Once the legalisation of marijuana becomes a line in the sand that has been crossed….we will never be able to go back.

      I believe weed has its purposes…stage 4 cancer patients is a good example. But for it to become legal for just anyone to use….this world will become an even more dangerous place to be.

    4. @ejijojo Several points:
      1. Wealth is relative. A person from the ghetto who feels poor in the USA would feel filthy rich in Chad, or at least the Chadian people would think so. Americans who feel poor feel poor after seeing what “rich” people have.
      2. There is difference between feeling poor, and feeling both poor and unhappy. A person can feel poor but happy. A person who feels both poor and unhappy usually feels that way because they are maxed-out financially. This generally occurs because they find themselves in a trap where income is not high enough vs. their expenses to make them feel stable and safe.
      3. If you want to talk about raw wealth, capitalism is the optimum model for creating “total amount of stuff”. There is no other socio-economic model that can create situation where all 5 members of family have $800 smartphones.
      4. Under capitalism, the gap between rich and poor will never be eliminated. That is not possible. The whole reason we are “rich” compared to other countries, is because of the disparity. If you try to eliminate the disparity, you will eliminate the wealth, because some other country will do what we are not doing.

      Given that it is not possible to eliminate disparity between rich and poor, one could argue that the disparity is not a problem, that the real problem is that Americans, en masse, like a herd of stampeding buffalo, get themselves into financial trouble by trying to live a lifestyle that they, and their Marxist/Starbucks/Barista children think that they deserve. However, that would also be slightly inaccurate.

      The question you be asking is not how to eliminate the disparity, but (1) whether the current disparity, as it is, is fair, and if not, then (2) how to structure the system so that the disparity is fair.

      1. The current disparity is *NOT* fair. That, we non-UBI’ers can agree on, with you UBI’ers. Under true capitalism, there is no way that a person would receive a $5000 medical bill for “simple” emergency room visit. They would not be paying $1275/month for medical insurance. The reason that they are is because, as Trump says, the system is rigged: the doctors/hospitals/insurance companies tricked Democrats into a system where they milk all of us. Democrats, by their nature, tend to go after the wrong people. Instead of going after the people who are milking us, they go after the people who are paying (middle class), trying to get more money so that they can pay the people who are milking us. Very very dumb.

      2. To make the system fair, we need a *universal flat transaction tax* . Any exchange of goods or services, including labor, should be taxed at the same rate. There would be no filing of taxes ever. It would be just like going to supermarket. You work. You make $20,000 in a year. You pay $2,000. You pay as you go, just like supermarket. You make $200,000, you pay $20,000. A person making 10x salary pays 10x taxes. No exceptions to this rule. Get rid of tax exemptions. Deductions would not make sense because there would be no filing.

      If you did this, rich people would still exist, but people would feel less trapped because the “lumps” would be removed from the bell-curve. You want fluidity, so if your husband, with crack in his @ss, is actually some kind of secret world-class chef, and deserves $90,000 / year, you make it really, really easy for him to switch jobs and try it. The simplicity would make employers ready to hire/fire (mostly hire). Moment that someone gets laid-off, employers will not hesitate to hire, because all the paperwork would no longer exist: (1) Hire the person. (2) Pay them $5000 for month. (3) Give Uncle Same $500 cut. (4) “Fire” the person. It will be a chaos…but in a good way. Wages will find their right spot, and employers will always be nervous about under-paying because they will know how easy it will be for you to just go somewhere else.

      The solution is not to try to make everyone equal. We are not, and never will be. The solution is to make the system so fluid, that people who actually deserve $90,000 vs $50,000, can get it, quickly, or not. That comes from flat tax.

      Finally, for the ultra-poor, there should be a *MINIMAL* safety-net. Government pays for your food, utilities, and *VERY BASIC* shelter. A person who is destitute should have the digs of a destitute person, not be subsidized by Uncle Sam so that they can live next door to some poor soul who just spent 20 years of their lives *TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM SUCH PEOPLE* .

    5. @andresdr He’s a con man because he takes advantage of the ignorance of his followers, by projecting misleading thoughts into their brains, like using the word “Alaska” while discussing UBI, knowing that Alaska does not have a UBI, and knowing that an ignorant person lacks the intellectual capacity to discriminate between what Alaska actually has (royalty payments on an extant resource that is sold to a market that is not in Alaska), and what he is proposing for the USA (taxation on profits of corporations). It’s like a person who solicits investment for his gold-mining venture while walking around with bucket of pyrite (fool’s gold). He knows that if people see the pyrite while he is giving his presentation on investment opportunity, they will just assume that it is gold. But if later, someone says, _You tricked us with that bucket of fake-gold at the presentation._ He will say (correctly): “I never said that the stuff in the bucket was gold!”
