Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang said if he won the White House, hed turn Tax Day into a party.
I would turn Tax Day into revenue day. I would make it a national holiday and we would celebrate the fact that we had another awesome year, hundreds of billions in new revenue, and wed have a party and wed have it a national party, Yang told Iowans who stopped to listen to his 20-minute pitch Friday at the Iowa State Fair.
There would be a thank you video from Oprah and The Rock and Tom Hanks saying thank you America we did it for one more year, heres where your money went.
Yangs big idea, which has propelled his presidential run, is giving Americans a universal basic income. Hes dubbed it the freedom dividend and it would give adults $1,000 a month. Hes spoken at length about how taxpayers are the owners of this country and should act as such.
On Friday that also meant putting the Internal Revenue Service to work.
This will be really popular too, he said. I think we should have it so the IRS fills our taxes out for us. Why are we all knocking our heads out trying to figure out our taxes every year? They know what our taxes are. They have the taxes every previous year. They can just like fill out our forms and you can sign off.
And then you can do something meaningful with your day, Yang added, pitching a big, national party every April 15, the day tax forms are traditionally due.

Won't the Dems be kind of embarrassed by this bold-faced admission about what these tyrants are really all about? Can't imagine they would think this kind of declaration would help them.
He’s sick.
How about designating December 16th, the day of the Boston Tea Party as “tax day”? Citizens can learn about the economic freedom that comprised the foundation of this country.
I’m cool with it if he also gets rid of Tax Withholding.
Write that Check on Tax Day!
It will change from a Party into a Bloodbath.
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang wants to play Robin Hood,truth is Robin Hood was a flat out robber the democrat party never changes only their word do.
Some tar, a few feathers... it could be a real party.
Democraps actually CELEBRATE the government stealing our hard- earned $ ( by force of arms) so they can buy more (largely) illegal votes with it
No ying in your yang Andrew. Get lost.
It’s a good idea if you cancel another. MLK day would be my choice.
Great idea, Andy. Hey, I would take it a step further and move Tax Day to Election Day or vice-versa.
And because you are the owners, we socialists are going to force you to give $1000/month to any parasite who wants it.
Hey Yang, maybe we should make election day a national
holiday so everyone who works can easily get to the polls.
Oh, and make it on April 15th at the same time.
Jes tryn to hep.
How about National Theft Day.
We could have marches where people are actually held upside down until the money fell out of their pockets and purses.
I would be sold on it if every year the legislator who voted for the most spending gets hanged as the focus of the holiday.
This will be really popular too, he said. I think we should have it so the IRS fills our taxes out for us. Why are we all knocking our heads out trying to figure out our taxes every year? They know what our taxes are. They have the taxes every previous year. They can just like fill out our forms and you can sign off.
Yes, nothing could have changed and also we want to remove any and all ability for the taxpayer to avoid undue taxes. The left really worships government
Why not a tax-freedom day - the day you start keeping all your pay which I think is somewhere in July or August (based on if you turned all your pay over to taxes).
Every day that the Dems confiscate tax money from the taxpayers is their celebration day ... i.e. every day of the year.
“I would turn Tax Day into revenue day. I would make it a national holiday and we would celebrate the fact that we had another awesome year, hundreds of billions in new revenue, and wed have a party and wed have it a national party, “
Is this jackass high?
If I were king, I’d have Tax Day and Election Day on the same day, instead of putting them 6 months apart.
