1. Yes, and I believe this is how we do so.

THE FREEDOM DIVIDEND, DEFINED

In the next 12 years, 1 out of 3 American workers are at risk of losing their jobs to new technologies—and unlike with previous waves of automation, this time new jobs will not appear quickly enough in large enough numbers to make up for it. To avoid an unprecedented crisis, we’re going to have to find a new solution, unlike anything we’ve done before. It all begins with the Freedom Dividend, a universal basic income for all American adults, no strings attached – a foundation on which a stable, prosperous, and just society can be built


What is the Freedom Dividend?
Why does Andrew Yang want to implement the Freedom Dividend in America?
Who would get the Freedom Dividend in Andrew Yang’s plan?
How would we pay for the Freedom Dividend?
What are the benefits of the Freedom Dividend?
Wouldn’t the Value-Added Tax just get passed on to consumers, “cancelling out” the UBI?
Would it stack with Social Security or Veteran’s Disability benefits?
Is there evidence to support the case for the Freedom Dividend?
I’ve never heard of the Freedom Dividend and Universal Basic Income. Where did it come from? Who supports it?
Why do we need the Freedom Dividend now?
What impact would the Freedom Dividend have on the economy?
Wouldn’t that cause rampant inflation?
Won’t people spend their money on dumb things like drugs and alcohol?
Won’t people stop working?
What about variations in the cost of living? Wouldn’t major cities need much more money than rural areas?
Why would you give the basic income to the rich?
Why can’t we just retrain people who lose their jobs?
If the Freedom Dividend is so great, why haven’t we done it already?
I don’t see robots. Isn’t this early?
Will this lead to mass immigration to the United States?
Isn’t this Communism/Socialism?
Wouldn’t employers just start paying less?
This sounds great! What can I do to make it happen?
