Yang In The Top Five

Yang, top five in the polls, but number one in momentum.





Measured by momentum, Yang and Warren are a ticket.

Andrew Yang: Suave Politician?

Andrew Yang: Chicken?





At this stage in the campaign, it makes sense to do what Andrew Yang is doing. At this stage, it is about getting the idea across. Now is not the time to implement. The idea of a Universal Basic Income is utterly new to the US political system. And so, at this stage, the idea has to be peddled as simply as possible. No new taxes. Not too much money per month. Two-thirds of it paid for by existing programs reorganized and made paperless.

The current package can go all the way to November 2020. When the work begins, and details are fleshed out, or, say, if Elizabeth Warren ends up being Yang's running mate (he has said he would like someone with legislative experience), the UBI idea might wed the wealth tax idea during the party convention summer of 2020.

When it is time to implement in January 2021, the work can begin in earnest. It might take a year or two to put it into action. I am for the VAT that Yang is proposing. I am also for the wealth tax that Warren is proposing. A YW ticket?

Sometime before 2035 it is possible that the US economy might see a growth rate of 50% some year. The Freedom Dividend will need to correspondingly go up. It can't stay stuck at 1K a month. It needs to be indexed to something. There needs to be an anchor, so it automatically goes up when conditions change. In short, when the economy gets bigger.

 UBI Is The Minimum Wage Of The Knowledge Economy

Data is the new oil. Proof? Look at the companies with the largest market caps. Used to be Big Oil. Now it is all Big Tech.

UBI: Universal Basic Income.

The minimum wage idea was pretty offensive when it was first talked about? You mean YOU are going to tell me how much I pay my workers!? There is similar antagonism around the UBI concept. It is a sound concept. It just needs to be sold.

Andrew Yang: Chicken?

Andrew Yang is just too apologetic about it.

Even if there were no robotics, no automation, no lost jobs, the freedom dividend would still make sense. The wealth inequality in this country and the world is plenty of reason to do the Universal Basic Income. That gap is unhealthy for democracy. It is unhealthy for capitalism. It is unhealthy for the market.

Elizabeth Warren is for a wealth tax. In simple terms, up to a wealth of 50 million, you don't pay. That is a high bar. But above that, you pay two cents on the dollar. So if you are Jeff Bezos, and your wealth is 100 billion, you pay two billion. Easy math. If you have to sell some of your shares in Amazon to do that, you sell.

But Warren is not (not yet) for the UBI. Warren: chicken?

Bernie Sanders: Big Chicken? The guy has this Soviet concept of work. Jobbing, is that you want?

Kamala Harris is finally like, 1K is too much. How about $500?

Kamala Harris: chicken.

The world does not stop at the Mexican border. Stop imitating Donald Trump. UBI will only work if it covers all humanity.

If you are going to lose a 50K trucking job, what are you going to do with 1K a month?

Andrew Yang: Chicken.

The Freedom Dividend, Republicans can love. Because this means, no bigger government. The money goes straight to the consumer to spend. And this is money that will be spent. It will be like a nonstop stimulus to the economy.

If you decide to take UBI to all humanity, you immediately come across basic problems. Not everyone has an official ID, not everyone has a bank account, not everyone has something like a social security number, not everyone has access to credit. These problems will have to be solved fast. And it can be. Well, looks like, when you solve these problems, nobody wants to come to America. Happy, Donald? Shitty president.

This also solves the tax haven problem. Now you can't hide your money anywhere. All wealth will pay wealth tax. No matter if you keep your money in London or the Bahamas, you are paying. Parking money will no longer be an option for anyone. That will create pressure on all wealth. The rich will invest. If you are paying a 2% wealth tax, chances are you want to make at least a 5% return. Because five minus two is three. If your wealth is not generating income, it will gradually go down towards zero, as it should. Maybe not tomorrow. But in 50 years?

Andrew Yang And Media Bias



Andrew Yang gets media cold shoulder he credits his February Joe Rogan appearance with springing his candidacy to the next tier....... Along with Yang, Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Buttigieg have also under-indexed in media coverage, relative to their polling positions....... Meanwhile Beto O'Rourke and Bill de Blasio have benefitted from outsized coverage

Bernie Picked The Wrong Fight With Andrew Yang



Obviously, the Democrats can't have both Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang. So who is it gonna be?

To Bernie's credit, the idea of a shorter work week is not that bad. How about you work four days a week, not five? But a reduced work week is not an argument against the UBI. They are apples and oranges.

Andrew keeps coming at Universal Basic Income from the technology angle, the artificial intelligence, and robotics angle. And I believe his projections are valid. But projections are projections. Many of those things have not happened yet. The retail jobs are mostly still here. Truck drivers are still driving their rigs.

But what is already here is inequality. I like Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax idea. Marry that to the UBI idea. The inequality that already exists and keeps getting wider every year is extremely harmful not only to democracy but also capitalism. And the best way to narrow the gap is by applying a wealth tax to fund a UBI.

And if the technology arguments come to be, we will also use that Value Added Tax (VAT) to expand the UBI. I can see the UBI going up to $2,000 a month down the line. Technology could give economic growth rates of 50% in future years. You don't want all of that to end up with the top 1%. They will just end up fat and lazy.

This is a fight Andrew must relish. That is the only way for him to go into the double digits.

Unless he wins either Iowa or New Hampshire, he is toast. He is perhaps Secretary of Labor and not the president. More likely speaker and author and CNN talking head in 2021.

Universal basic income, and universal health care are two ideas that belong together. Andrew Yang does need to own Medicare For All if he has a fighting chance.

Andrew Yang's Eureka Moment And The Political Work That Remains Doing



You don't get to become president for having a eureka moment on the Universal Basic Income (UBI) idea. The concept has been talked about in the tech circles for much of this decade. Just check out the tech blogs. You do the math. You crunch the numbers. You extrapolate. There is no escaping it.

Andrew Yang might look like a rocket scientist on the campaign trail, but to the techies it might come across as, well, looks like he has been reading the tech blogs.

I like his rebranding of it. Freedom Dividend, or tech check. They sound better than UBI. Whatever works.

The implementation could happen in phases. Phase one, let's just cover the bottom 50%. Phase two, lets' put Elizabeth Warren's two cents to use and cover 100%. Step three, let's get those two cents from everybody on the planet and make UBI truly universal. Americans are merely 300 million out of more than seven billion. Tell everyone at the Mexico border, you can get $100 per month per person, or you can come to the US. Nobody will want to come to the US.

You don't get to become president for "getting" the idea. You get to become president for selling it. That is the political work that needs to be done.

The racial bias in mainstream media against Andrew Yang is palpable. CNN and MSNBC might as well be Breitbart News when it comes to Andrew Yang, who is not even Chinese, by the way.

Yang 2020 should go deeply digital and global. Micro target with video. Involve people. If the people want him bad enough, they will google him up. But mainstream media is still how most voters in the US get their news. That glass prism has to be broken.

Andrew Yang can't be window-shopping for president. He needs to get inside the store. He needs to break the glass, if necessary. Or, better, dissolve it.

Andrew Yang Clocking At 4% And Fifth Position



If you go back into this blog's archives, I have consistently talked of Andrew Yang as the Secretary Of Labor. But now I have started to talk of him as a possible president. For a guy who has never been Mayor, Senator, Governor, Billionaire, for him to clock at 4% is mind-blowing. The dude has gone viral. I don't think anything like this has happened in a US presidential campaign.

The guy has the greatest momentum. He is polling at 4% nationally, he is in the fifth position. But measured by Google Search he is in the second position on his way to first.

It is amazing to me how the UBI idea falls into the blind spot of even the "socialists." Because the UBI idea truly is post-capitalism, post-socialism.

Andrew Yang represents a generational change. He also represents the 21st century. He represents the knowledge economy.
