Neither of their plans work in the real world where you actually have to pay for this stuff. Warren wants to fund a five trillion dollar socialist healthcare plan by taxing billionaires "two cents." The only problem is that all the billionaires combined don't have enough money to fund her plan for even nine months. Yang wants to give everyone a thousand bucks a month. He also wants to raise everyone's taxes. So what the hell good is a thousand bucks if my cost of living goes up a thousand bucks?

Trump has it right. Focus on job creation and lowering taxes, people have more money in their pockets and can take care of themselves.

As a former Alaskan resident, what exactly is wrong with Yang's plan? Why do awful countries in the Middle East have UBI but the supposedly greatest country in the world cant give 12k a year to citizens? Trump raised the deficit to give billionaires a massive tax break. Could have used that to give UBI to the extremely poor.

For the record, I make enough money where 12k a year will be cool but not life changing or noticeable (yeah yeah, #humblebrag). Im not a fan of Yang just for UBI. The fact is he is the only candidate who understands the tech revolution that is coming and is trying to figure out ways to soften its impact while giving us power by making data your private property.

If hypothetically Yang became president and had to reneg on his UBI promise, Id still support him if he only gave UBI to the bottom 10% of this country. Imagine living on less that 20k a year. 12k will change your life.
