First I ask, do you know the name Andrew Yang and are you familiar with his proposed Freedom Dividend concept?
Also known as the Andrew Yang UBI or, Universal Basic Income proposal, this idea is not new. The idea has been proposed by others before Mr. Yang. Martin Luther King suggested the concept also.
The Andrew Yang Freedom Dividend idea is to distribute $1000 per month to every law abiding United States Citizen that is over 18 years of age. Not just a select group of people, but to ALL United States Citizens, providing you are not in jail or prison, and you are a legal documented citizen of the United States of America, and you are over 18 years old. If you fit in those parameters, you are eligible for $1000 per month from the United States government.
To some, the Andrew Yang Freedom Dividend is considered a handout. And to others the Freedom Dividend is considered a “birth right” as a citizen of the United States of America.
The people that consider it a birthright, are looking at it from a business cash flow standpoint as a shareholder of the United States economy.
The United States of America is a capitalist country. I think we can all agree on that. There are literally hundreds of thousands of dollars moving through the United States economy every day. It is the businesses and the consumers of the United States that are keeping this cash flowing through our country.
We the People
If it is true, that we the people of the United States are in charge of the government, and not the other way around, then we are shareholders of the businesses in this country. The capitalist businesses of this country are doing business in our country. If it was not for us consumers in the United States, these businesses would not survive.
As consumers, we constantly have income, outgo and cash flow.
If you can just for a moment, not think of the freedom dividend as a handout, but actually look at it as an idea to create cash flow in the United States economy it would make more sense to you.
Think of it this way. There are thousands of businesses throughout the United States, that are constantly doing business transactions buying and selling products and services. If we leave it to the government to distribute this money, it is going to be distributed with a bias and unfairly designated.
If we are to implement a value added tax to all businesses in the United States, that would provide sufficient funds to distribute to the United States citizens. I am referring to every dollar spent on Amazon, every Facebook ad, every Starbucks cup of coffee, every gallon of gas pumped, every haircut, every pair of pants purchased, every pair of shoes purchased, EVERYTHING.
Then the money acquired from this tax, is distributed to each law biting united states citizen over 18 years of age. What this will do now is distribute this income to all local communities. This would stimulate the economy in every community, each and every month.
As an example, say there is a city that has a population of 20,000 people. That would result in $20 million being distributed in that community each and every month.
That money, would then be in the hands of businesses and entrepreneurs spending that money on their business, reinvesting back into the United States economy.
This is a very simple way to redistribute the wealth of the entire United States of America, equally and fairly.
Again, try to look at this as a economy cash flow solution, rather than a hand out to freeloaders.
Another issue is the “dollar per hour” model in obsolete, and there is no way humans can move faster than automated robot technology.
Therefore, employers are not going to be able to pay high enough wages and still stay in business. There needs to be other ways.
In my opinion, people should have their own side-hustle to earn money. Perhaps an Online Store, Network Marketing or Affiliate Marketing.
