Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang wants to give everybody $1k per month, he tells Detroit crowd

Original Article

Posted By: Ralpho, 5/5/2019 4:22:39 PM

Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang appeared in Detroit on Friday, touting part of his platform that would give every American $1,000 per month. One of his cornerstone policies -- and he’s released more than 70 -- is what he calls the universal basic income. It would give every American $1,000 per month, paying for it in part with a “value-added tax” on goods and services businesses produce.

Comments:

Just another Democrat who wants to bribe us with our own money.

Yeah, right. We´ll (tax payers) give every American (wait until it is simply everyone residing in America) $1,000 a month. Raise the taxes on the goods and services you buy.
That´s everything you buy, use and need, and that $1,000 won´t be worth squat.

So, now I pay in $40K, and get back nothing.
Lazy slug over there pays in nothing, gets welfare worth $10K.

Under this new plan, I pay in $50K, get $1K cash. The lazy slug pays in nothing, gets $1K cash, and welfare worth $10K.

Yep, great plan......NOT.

That said, I watched Shapiro interview him and he was a refreshing dimokkkrap: not foaming at the mouth, just calm talk about ideas. However, Even his non-socialist ideas seemed immature; in an earlier time he wouldn’t have a resume sufficient for a midsized corporate job. His experience is mostly in nonprofits i think. That qualifies him to take on the iranians and the chinese. /s

$1000 to 300,000,000 peoples is $300,000,000,000 in taxes to be raised every month to pay for it. Divide that up "fairly among the 300 million people amounts to a $1000 tax bill per person each month. Hmmmm.

There´s that same pesky "mistake" again. When you see a headline that reads : "Such-and-such politician wants to GIVE people $1K per month," know that it SHOULD read: "Such-and-such Progressive politician wants to give away taxpayer moneys to buy votes." Rest ASSURED that that politician is NOT giving away HIS money, but confiscating YOURS. Those fools cheering and waving signs at his rallies are likely clueless and penniless.

For the most part, who cares? You can appreciate an actor or an artist’s talent without politics getting in the way.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
