Socialism

“It would help people improve their health, nutrition, pay off some debts and bills that have been hanging over them, reduce their stress levels,” Yang told Fox News in an interview, describing what he's dubbed a "freedom dividend." The grand plan would involve the government giving $12,000 a year to each adult American.


I'm going change my name you Ying and run for President. If I am elected I'm going to give every American $36,000 a year. Who would vote for Yang and only get $12k a year when they can vote for Yang and get 3X as much free money?!

The way I will pay for the plan is to raise the taxes all goods and services in the US so that it generates enough to give $36k a year to every American. It will be a zero sum game. You will pay much for everything but you will have more money to spend....and that will reduce stress.

My alternate plan would be to double everyone's salary and at the same time double the price of everything. Then everyone will feel richer! Well, until they bought something.....
