If we pay a thousand dollars every month to every citizen, and a year is 12 months, then every citizen will cost 12.000 USD for the state a year. Multiply that for 300 million (total US population) and that will reach trillions. How can he ever expect us to believe that the state can pay the UBI ?

Eliminate all welfare programs first off.

Then a VAT, which would go up due to velocity of money with poor people having that cash.

The Number is less then 300million because kids dont count. Also i doubt criminals in lockup would benifit either, Also from what i heard it wont over lap with current benifits so if your already getting benifits above or equal to 1000$ you wont get anything.
Giving out the money is only an issue if the people who get it dont spend it. lets say we are looking at 250,000,000 people, who get 1000$ month. thats 2.5Trillion Dollars a month. we can do that as a nation. Most people will end up spending all that 1000 that month. And if we treat it like foodstamps and say they have to use a card to spend the money, and that the limit can never go over 1000, then they cant horde the money. So if you dont spend your 1k in may you dont suddenly have an extra 1k in june. not sure if that last part is in his plan but it would be the smart way to go about it. Effectivly if done like that, then it would be like the US put away 2.5T dollers in lock up at any given time. Would never need to go over that. because the money that gets used would filter its way back to them anyway

VAT to be honest. Monthly VAT at 10% would more than pay for it.
Brayden Murphy

300,000,000 Citizens * $12,000 = $3,600,000,000,000
$2,000,000,000 left over.

I think it is just for the adult population. That’s 250 million US Americans or 3 trillion USD a year. Subtract all current 1 trillion in federal, state and local welfare payments/subsidies and you are talking 2 trillion net. As most people work in jobs, these people experience these payments as effective tax cuts.
Absolutely doable if taxes for certain segments of the population increase. This paper money is essentially a huge tax cut for the poor and a giant tax increase for the middle class and rich.

....while red states leech off of blue states for 100s of millions in welfare every year.
Get a fucking job, assholes. Stop looking for handouts and sucking Trump's cock all day, Fucking lazy faggots. The left is TIRED of supporting the uneducated right.
Luis Sanders
I have an actual job you cocksucker.
Luke Flores
he plans on making the big companies taxed more, and assumes that people will use the freedom dividend on companies such as that so they will in turn get their money back. His logic sounds good but is unknown in practice except for Alaska, but they have a very large oil industry and receive little help from the federal government, so it is unknown if it would really work on such a large scale
Dominic Howard
>big companies taxed more
So they pass the expense to the customer which they will pay because they have more money, brilliant.
Liam Price
>he counts military spending, agricultural subsidies and spending on maintenance of federally owned land as "welfare"
Wyatt Rodriguez
Its 1000 for those who are 18 and above. also if you already have welfare benefits that are at or exceed 1k then you dont get it
Hudson Reed
We're already past the point where that stuff doesn't matter, old man. The blue demographics are already set thanks, and the future is already be high taxes. Even fucking whites voter 44% democrat and only 55% of whites vote Republican. Complaining about socialism in the wake of globalization and automation is already irrelevant at this point. There's no reversing or fixing it anymore. That conversation is long gone. I won't tell you to vote for Yang, but I will tell you to stop deluding yourself about that boomer-mindset you still have going on.

VAT is a very effective tax, large base, low rate (in theory), so it's pretty painless and gives a shit ton of money to the State. Look at pic related (TVA=VAT) which shows the repartitions of the French state incomes. Income tax only makes half of what VAT represents.
VAT is also a very shitty idea (we invented it) because it's not really a tax on added value but a tax on consumption. And having a State high on consumption is, now more than ever, a bad idea.
Also VAT is a tax that weighs more on poorfags because they are the one spending all their revenue on consumption. So its kinda ironic a leftist would advocate for it.

>old man
I'm fucking 26, user. I have a real fucking job, and my bi-weekly paycheck is fucking insane with taxes. I have a gf, but I'm not married, but god fucking dammit, this single shit is insane. Why do they fucking demand so much from us?

cope
criminals are not even 1% of the population
US population abov 18 years old is around 220 million, consider tho that he would legalize the 20 million illegals here in america and the 20 millions puerto ricans, so we reach 300 million almost
the welfare people take is much lower than 1000
welfareinfo.org
a family of 4 takes AT BEST 900, a family of 1 or 2 takes very low, not even 500, most people will opt for the UBI
Evan Perry
it still 220 million+ our illegal citizens that yang will make legal and puerto ricans
welfareinfo.org
most people on welfare don't take 1000, hence most will opt for yang UBI
