Con artist Yang tells us how new technologies have “destroyed more than 4 million US jobs”. Con artist Yang is counting on the American people being too stupid to know that millions of new jobs are actually created when new technologies are introduced.
Con artists Yang also wants to use the force of government taxation to implement what he calls the “Freedom Dividend”, a universal basic income (UBI) for every American adult over the age of 18: “$1,000 a month, no strings attached.” [NOTE; America’s population above 18 is approximately 209 million.].
Con artist Yang proposes a new tax on those evil companies “benefiting most from automation”, to finance his UBI. But this is nothing more than a calculated gimmick ___ the old and tired attack on the wealthy ___ a rope-a-dope scheme which blatantly promises to abuse the power of federal taxation, using it to buy votes at $1,000 a month for each vote, or about $ 2.5 TRILLION a year rise in federal taxation to buy his votes, which would dwarf the annual federal pay out for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
And this Con Artist is still in the race and qualifies to be in the next debate? Could con artist Yang be right, and that a majority of the American people are actually as stupid as Yang believes they are?

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. The Democrat Party Leadership is infested with communists and socialists who delude, lure and addict our nations needy with free government cheese.
Yes, automation does “kill” certain jobs, but automation also creates jobs. I know first hand how automation actually creates new jobs. I used to deliver ice to people with ice boxes when I was about 12 years old. Eventually refrigerators eliminated this job for countless youths in New York City. The good news was, later in life I learned refrigeration and air-conditioning repair, and earned far more money repairing refrigeration equipment than I ever could earn delivering ice.
Yang is a con artist, and looking to buy votes with federal tax revenue as are the rest of the democrats running for office. His immigrant parents should be ashamed of him.

In every oppressive country like communist China, socialist Cuba, North Korea,Venezuela, etc., the people are disarmed and suffer the loss of inalienable rights under an iron fisted government which live large on the people’s labor. Forewarned is forearmed.
Its campaign promises. Every candidate has to find something that separates them out from the pack. What Yang is proposing is unfeasible.
Remember when con artist Trump was going to have Mexico pay for the wall? Remember when con artist Trump was going to repeal and replace ObamaCare on Day 1?
The Red Hat Mob fell for that scheme, hook, line, and sinker.
Kind of like reparations, has absolutely zero chance of passing, deeply unpopular, but hey let’s promise a certain segment of the population some cash to get them to the ballot box.
He means well? He is either a con artist or dumb as a rock. His Freedom Dividend would cost about $ 2.5 TRILLION a year and would dwarf the annual federal pay out for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid COMBINED!
He needs to take an elementary school math class.

Yeah and all those new taxes will force companies to automate even more to stay in business. Yang is just one of the conga line of Democrat Candidate buffoons.
