As the horde of Democratic Presidential candidates continue to try to outdo one another in how much ‘free shit’ they can give away, one man in the crowd just turned up the idiocy to ’11’…
Forget about small things like ‘Obamaphones’, Sara Carter reports that Andrew Yang, the Democratic presidential hopeful is promising to pay $1000 once a month to every American if he is elected in 2020.
A supporter of universal basic income, Yang already launched a pilot program for free cash payments known as the Freedom Dividend.
He selected a family in Goffstown, New Hampshire, who he says will be receiving $12,000 cash for the year.
In 2018, According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were about 127.59 million households in the United States. So if you do the math, and if Andrew Yang’s little project just target every household in America, this would cost $1.5 Trillion every year.
But that is a drop in the ocean, as Mr. Yang has quite the array of ‘free’ offerings for Americans in his platform…

Go ahead and laugh. Sooner or later they ARE going to win an election running on this kind of stuff.
The constituency that wants it is growing.
Linky no workee.
Didn’t Trump give us all a raise last year? Like a tax cut?
Oh, that’s right, that was only for taxPAYERS.
The (D)s REALLY need to nominate this cat! That way, they can lose ANOTHER 15% apiece, from the black vote and from the Hispanic vote. Both groups resent “Asian Privilege” (AKA “excellence”, “hard work”, “entrepreneurship” and “road rudeness”).
Yes he did. So an illegal family that has 2 parents, grandma and grampa, plus 6 kids will receive $120,000 per year. This guy is nuts...
What if I vote twice?
GWB started the free phone program, just a point of clarification. It actually made (makes) sense for those who are actively trying to get a job, which was the original intent.
“Linky no workee.”
Liberals no workee.
LOL!
“Yang Gang” troll farm started posting on the chans a few days ago and got busted trying to meme him to popularity.
Obvious troll was obvious.
Redistributionism + guaranteed income + budget deficits + confiscatory taxation + government borrowing + creation of money out of thin air/inflation + government spending = capital decumulation = economic decline & decay = mass poverty
One large a month and you get to keep your fore skin!
Shoo in!

Can’t live on $1000/month. Make it $5000 and he’s got a deal.
If they do come back into power I want all my money I spent on educating my children and I want 1000 dollars a month to sit home
Maybe it times out?
Traitorcrat Yang.
Maybe not. Did you see this?
Cher Calls For Laws To Control Men’s Bodies: ‘Must Be Circumcised, & Show Papers Or Penis’
Divorce or never marry your mate, and you just doubled your family income. Two families, $2000 a month.
A grand a month is not nearly enough... how about 50,000 a month?
If this really is workable, how about a family income for the entire world. No more poverty. Just print the cash.

My mind went there too, just before I posted it. The part you left out was that it would all be paid by Americans.
