I like how many call out the Democrats for "buying votes" when a bunch of guys on the MISC have said they voted for Trump for less taxes.

[jamalfudge]

I'd spend it on the price increase for literally everything

This. Also pepper my angus for no more raises at work anymore because I've got an extra grand that the employer doesn't now need to part with.

[Omnivium]

I'd save it for when they tax me $1500 extra

[cncman]

didn't bush give us an "economic stimulus"

[jackamo2887]

"herp derp it's free money! Vote for us!"

Liberal retards

[Maestro]

Srs question would babies get the Yang Bucks?

no

starts at age 18

have to be a US citizen.

[JUSA]

Probably go out and get a $225 hamburger and $45 coke. We on Zimbabwe time now

[Dan_S]

Leave it aside when I have to pay it back thru my taxes

This. I actually pay taxes so I expect UBI to be a net loss.

[SiegeMT]

If it's "have to be a US" citizen it won't help the majority of the people who need it.

[Aesthetical]

^this. Somehow most people haven't made this connection.


And, Yang is mentally retarded for thinking that millions of jobs are going to be wiped out by automation. It's just not going to happen.

lmfao

my gawd you are short sighted

must be too much fluoride in your water

Yeh, cause want YOUR OWN money back is the same as wanting OTHER people's money.....

[BulkingIsHard]

Use it to supplement my income in buying essentials (food, hygeine, utilities, etc) because like minimum wage increases, nothing changes and companies just raise the price on goods to offset higher cost of production.

[SwayWay]

First thing I'd do is ask myself, "who's paying for all this??"

You know ALL your data/info and pics/life are constantly being monetized online by tech companies and corporations right? They're literally making billions off you for free. Alaska has an oil dividend that gets paid to EVERY citizen every year. Not sure why a Freedom Dividend is not more openly talked about or acceptable.

[Retoaded]

January 27th, 2021, your first paycheck after Yang has been sworn into office.

You look at your tax withholdings and see this:

-$1,278.88 Freedom Dividend Tax

[FoxMcCocks]

But who was Congress

Because it would be the equivalent of raising the federal minimum wage to $10.15 which we all know wouldn't do chit

[KingofLifts]

Them stinkin Alaskans getting somebody else's oil money every year! It's not their OIL!

Your employer cuts your salary but $1k a month.. It's not gonna do chit right?

[BulkingIsHard]

Your employer cuts your salary but $1k a month.. It's not gonna do chit right?

No because that $1k comes from a 10% tax on company revenue. Labor market will be impacted initially but overtime prices will rise on goods and services produced. Worst of all, poor people benefit more from welfare policies, so the upper class gets their money back after raising prices, the lower class gets money back through welfare, and the middle class is knocked down to the lower class unless they get lucky and make it to the upper class.

Taxes = Money that you earn that is taken by the government.
Yang bucks = Vote for me and I'll give you money for nothing. Except you pay higher taxes to fund this endeavor.



At the end of the day there are two primary idealogies here. One group of people wants to keep more of the money they earn through work/investing. The other group of people wants more money given to them. For no action on their part.


Obviously if you just live off of food stamps, welfare, disability, and in government housing and are unemployed. You want more free ****. If you have an actual job/career. You don't want to give away more of what you earn.



I have no idea why liberals don't just voluntarily give away more of their income to the needy. Take in a homeless person or illegal immigrant into their home. Etc. I have no problem with this. I just don't want to be forced to participate with them.

You do know that taxes are something we already pay right? We just want to pay less of them. I'd rather not give more cash to those who pay zero taxes!

[Jhalf]

There are several valid criticisms of Yang's FD plan, like how it weakens current welfare recipients, how the VAT might not be tied in absolution to the UBI proposal, how a large portion of the UBI comes from "Increased Economy", or how its extremely unlikely a 10% VAT wouldn't cover the costs needed for a full 1k per person, but of course you won't find any of those criticisms here.

Some of you amaze me.

[Bassackwards]

after taxes, it'll be $600. then i'll have to spend it since the price of everything is going to go up.

Depends on how many luxury goods you buy.

Regarding inflation, you aren't artificially increasing the supply of money. Here is an article on how UBI can affect inflation.

Giving people the power to purchase things can actually cause the price of goods and services to go down.

You mean, we voted to keep MORE of OUR money. Do you not understand what an income tax is?

Trolling or stupid?

Invest in consumables since most people will just spend that money

[BFast55]

So rich people are entitled to this payment too right? Asking for a friend.
