Yang Campaign Collapses After It's Revealed $1,000/Mo Giveaway Would Be Paid For With $1,000/Mo Tax Increase
NEW HAMPSHIRE—Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang has suspended his campaign for President of the United States.
Relatively unknown before he began promising to give everyone in the country what he called a Freedom Dividend, which is a universal basic income measure in which the federal government would pay each American $1000 per month, he rapidly grew his social media presence and his "Yang Gang." Many of these fans wore campaign hats and shirts which simply read, "MATH."
Americans initially seemed receptive to the idea that they could simply vote themselves more money. "I love money," said Oliver Mann, a businessman living in Manchester, NH. "I will vote for anyone who promises to just give me stuff at no cost."
However, Americans seemed to grow skeptical of the idea when it became clear that the money would have to come from somewhere else to pay for the program. Finally, Yang admitted the $1,000 per month would be accompanied by a $1,000 per month tax increase.
When it was discovered how this $1,000 would come with a $1,000 price tag, support for Yang seemed to plummet. After a dismal finish in New Hampshire, the writing was on the wall for Andrew Yang.
Perhaps in the future, a similar campaign which promises you $1,000 in exchange for $1,000 will gain traction, but as of right now, Americans prefer giveaways be free.
他退选之前先出来一堆新闻，LAYOFF上百员工不给通知，员工们通过帐号无法登陆和RUMOR MILL认识到自己被LAYOFF，400元的辞退费也没给。 他的UBI之类还有什么讨论的必要？那就是一个口号，如他的员工们说的他will only talk the talk, but not walk the walk!

说的好像他有机会一样
無關政治立場, 但他這次給美國許多人(尤其是非華裔)的印象是很正面的, 畢竟他口才好, 有自信 & charismatic, 比較顛覆傳統華人男性給人內向的感觀
造谣就是随口就来的吗，有的华人素质都低成这样了？
一鸣惊人？同学，可不可以不搞笑
同讨厌这点。他的1000快算来算去都不make sense.
他已经是第六了，超出了开始时很多人的预期。
前四个他是不可能超过的，Amy 势头很猛，所以也在情理之中。他进入前五就算一鸣惊人了。
这样说话很低级的感觉，对女人victim尊重点
同感，我也是他刚宣布时接触到一帮ABC都挺他，才关注他的

不好意思，手滑了变成踩了。我赞同你。有些人是很low. 自己内心黑暗，把别人也想的不好。
没关系的。也就是网上才回一下吧，现实中遇到这样的人直接就无视了。
因为是华人就踩他，是更大的自恨。
上边已经讲了，关注他很久了，即使不是华人，民主党里还是选他。其次Pete 也还行。
可以去研究一下这个，UBI实际是libertarian 那帮人喜欢的，是个型左实右的主意。民主党主流不会喜欢这个的。
原始的UBI就是取消福利，每人发些钱，市场决定用途。
AA放在历史环境里来说，也不是非黑即白的。
华人是政治正确的最大受益者之一，如果那时提AA，华人巴不得呢因为自己得益。
现在也就是教育领域，华人升学很突出，提AA就觉得损害自己利益了，别的领域不是那么简单的。
政治正确和AA，从理念上来说很难分割区别对待的，所以绑架了民主党在华人心目中的形象。
现在是顺境，等到对华人都是逆境了，或许会有人重新审视的。
UBI明明是个libertarian的idea，简单的说，就是和用voucher的charter school类似，每个人可以自由选择，把臃肿低效的政府中介完全跳过。
民主党怎么会支持缩减政府？
不要断章取义，要说全，明明说了都会给的，因为很突然有的人设备还没还，另外payroll 软件需要时间
I have to say, this is low class action.
楼主事后把帖子改成这样，让人一看觉得好像是CNN的报道。如果CNN这样写的话，早被人唾弃了。
这段文字的出处是一个Babylon Bee, 一个the onion 一样的搞笑无厘头网站。
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Babylon_Bee
CNN本身的报道比较客观，对杨和他的竞选有详细的客观介绍。值得看看。
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/11/politics/andrew-yang-ends-2020-presidential-campaign/index.html
我现在确实感觉这里是有组织的转帖谣言和阴谋论，去误导别人了。很低级的行为。
有道理。我怀疑是五毛故意歪曲事实，undermine华人在美国的地位，他们好幸灾乐祸。
我一般不喜欢说这些，我一年交的税，可能都是你一辈子挣的。
你需要遣散费，我可以给你
杨正大光明参选，值得尊敬。
反而是你这种脑残，故意发假文章冒充CNN的，实在是令人鄙视。
10万遣散费，你为杨的竞选贡献了多少时间？
证明拿来
你知道遣散费是什么意思吗？
你的眼界，也就是盯着免费午餐了。早就说过，我给他捐的都到committee 和PAC 个人limit了。
你这种人，除了背后转假新闻，还做了点什么，不管为华人在民主党也罢共和党也罢。
就凭你这句话，知道你智商不在线了。自己去查查什么叫遣散费，英文也行，然后去读读UBI是什么，真的以为收你1000给你1000啊？
了解清楚了遣散费或者severance pay是什么，拿着证明，随时可以在我这里领取。
说了半天还是没搞明白遣散费啥意思，说东说西转移话题。
一个人最好智商在线再出来现眼
你连新闻也辨别不出吗，你觉得你后来改的那个是新闻是吗？
Onion 你听说过吗、Babylon Bee 就是政治界的Onion。这么说明白了吧？
还和CNN放在一起，不是误导别人是什么呢
CNN的链接打开自然看得到CNN的新闻，怎么会被误导？你自己没脑子别随便代表别人，人家也不会想要被你代表，你不相信Babylon Bee是你自己的事，我还信不过CNN呢。反正你的杨是退出竞选了，想要用免费肉来骗下层选民这招不好用，因为这群人也是最不忠诚的，吃不到肉就抛弃你。
你是不是连Babylon Bee是什么也不知道啊，人家自己都说得很明白啊。还拿来当新闻，然后底下放个CNN链接去混淆呢。
杨是华人站出来参选，我当然要支持。我给他捐款和他选不选得上无关，我知道他选不上啊，这两者本来就没关系，你的眼界不会停留在不见兔子不撒鹰的层次吧？支持他是态度，他选不上是情理之中。如果有共和党参选人，我也会支持，虽然我知道共和党不会让华裔走得像杨这么远。
说实话，和你多说是浪费我时间，你根本就没明白为什么我支持他。
你先搞明白racist是什么好吗，对本族还是外族。
你这句话，不正是racist 的很好的例子吗？
不过就事论事，Yang本人不是racist，也从来没有刻意讨好华人。
他说的很清楚，华人大学比例过高，要用AA重点打击。
某些华人还是要去给他舔脚，他本人并不负责。
支持Yang的，也不算racist。
他们一方面因为Yang是华裔选Yang，一方面又支持Yang用AA干自己华人。
这个是精神分裂，层次比老黑和非法移民要低。
所以说你应该支持黑人，而不是支持Yang。
可以看到，民主党虽然平时歧视华人就像吃饭喝水一样，但这次总统选举，并没有特别仇视华人，并没有大肆宣扬AA。
只有Yang，独树一帜，立场鲜明地保证自己会用AA搞华人，帮歧视亚裔的势力加油添柴。
前两天，主流左派媒体，The Atlantic，就高度赞赏了Yang地这一行为。
“之前很多华裔美国人因为反对SCA-5、反对AA，倒向了GOP”
“现在Yang靠着发1000美元，成功分化了华裔美国选民，让AA的概念深入年轻的亚裔之中”
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/yang-asian-americans-affirmative-action/605917/
多nc才会相信白给1000不涨税
是的，Yang能战胜这么多白人议员州长走到今天太了不起了，一个华人有这么多包括白人各族裔的疯狂粉丝简直前所未有闻所未闻，可以说开启华人在美国从政之新时代，所有华人都应该感谢他的努力。他以后肯定还有更大的发展。只要看看跟他同台的几个白人竞选者，大都白发苍苍70多岁了，干了一辈子政治，才到这一步，而Yang才40多，刚出道1年，毫无从政经验和人脉，就能走得这么远，了不起，赞！以后他还有几十年的时间，会走的更远！
俺娃初中的，很支持每月能发一千，某次找机会给他讲了一下，他就明白是扯淡了。
虽然我从来没有支持过杨，也觉得这种抹黑太可耻了！断了华人从政的路对你们有什么好处？
他自己分割的很清楚的，台湾华人，别以为他对大陆的有啥感情
