Redpill me on the Yang’s value added tax. Would it prevent his dividends from devaluing the dollar/raising the cost of living? Would the $1000 even mean anything if it just raises nationwide demand? I can see this helping those far beneath the poverty line but that’s about it.

Yang wants to give amnesty to all illegal migrants.
He wants to pretend like UBI will only be given to citizens. Then he wants to expand the citizen pool by 50 million through amnesty.
UBI is just bait for a deeper agenda.
American jobs are safe if you close off the country from foreign interference.

It should occur to you that taxing people’s purchases to fund their next purchase is fundamentally unsound. It will lead to inflation. Will the economy be able to handle it? Probably.
Camden Howard
I admire the way he explained the options of immigration. Saying that it isn’t feasible to just mass deport undocumented people, and doing so would collapse certain regional industries. He still said we need a strong border, just that people should come here legally and expect to pay taxes and follow our laws

No matter what retard comes in here saying, such as hyperinflation to everything will be fine and dandy - they are basing their assumption on data which is loosely correlated to the United States (currently largest economy in the world). Economics is a social science or as I like to call it, a "pseudoscience". The range of possibilities are endless, none of them guaranteed, and that is what makes him such a meme worthy candidate, hence the shilling/shitposting.

This is why he won't even get close in the first primaries, the first sensational attack from a Democrat in the debate about inflation or some other alarmist statement will immediately destroy him. I can already imagine after he goes on his long autistic rant about UBI and explanation, having Beto or Harris saying, "Wow, and I thought SANDERS was bad at economics!" *long laughter from crowd as Yang gets BTFO*

This won’t help anyone, and in fact will hurt the poorest of us most of all. Taxes will go up (even the taxes that already exist, not just the brand new VAT tax) as will inflation and by the time it’s all said and done that $1,000 will have a true, actual value of about $100.
But that doesn’t just apply to the (((freedom dividend))) money (the free money) but it would apply to all money so if you earn $4000 a month you’d have an actual value of about $500 including the (((freedom dividend))), and if you’re a NEET/nigger/some other deadbeat who earns nothing, your actual value is about $100. Everybody is poorer, and the economically disadvantaged person isn’t any further ahead.
TLDR socialism doesn’t work

>Both Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek advocated for something like a Basic Income Guarantee as a proper function of government, though on somewhat different grounds. Friedman’s argument comes in chapter 9 of his Capitalism and Freedom, and is based on the idea that private attempts at relieving poverty involve what he called “neighborhood effects” or positive externalities. Such externalities, Friedman argues, mean that private charity will be undersupplied by voluntary action.
>[W]e might all of us be willing to contribute to the relief of poverty, provided everyone else did. We might not be willing to contribute the same amount without such assurance.
>Friedrich Hayek’s argument, appearing 17 years later in volume 3 of his Law, Legislation, and Liberty, is even more powerful. Here’s the crucial passage:
>The assurance of a certain minimum income for everyone, or a sort of floor below which nobody need fall even when he is unable to provide for himself, appears not only to be wholly legitimate protection against a risk common to all, but a necessary part of the Great Society in which the individual no longer has specific claims on the members of the particular small group into which he was born.

Shouldn't we be asking if the president even has the power to do what he is promising before asking if it will work. This is just another waste of time thinking that some bullshit rubber stamp has any real power in this corrupt convoluted government.

From his blog:
"This tier would put them on a longer, eighteen-year path to citizenship (the same amount of time it takes those born in the US to get full citizenship rights), reflecting our desire to bring them into our country but also their decision to circumvent legal immigration channels."
They should not get any form of citizenship ever. A legal status that keeps them from welfare and allows them to work/pay taxes is the only compromise that is just.
The blog pedals the lie that only 11 million illegals are here. When in reality it is around 50 million.
Every president says they will secure the border in the begining. Just rhetoric.
He also wants to INCREASE the amount of guest worker visas. If the AI job replacement us upon us this and so many other policies completely conflict.

I agree, I was just addressing the OP on the economics since that was what he wanted.

He just wants to allow more asians into the country to accelerate that White Genocide. Or to use as cashiers to curb the fast food automation crisis.
Colton Johnson
Asian immigrants all care more about east Asia than America. Every Asian immigrant living in the US has programmed loyalty for their country of origin over the US.

There's a back-up plan if the VAT doesn't work out.
Alexander Taylor
But ubi replaces all the retarded welfare programs you have. I doubt it would even inflate the dollar much because it wont cost you anything extra. You'll save hundreds of billions in administration and other bullshit programs. Even the filthy rich can get onboard, because they'll get some of that cash through sales.

Simply not going to happen. Welfare will still exist. Those that trade in welfare for this UBI, will still find a way to also get welfare.
Every time a new welfare program is introduced, it gets abused to the maximum.
