now one of the answers it seems to me is a guaranteed annual income a guaranteed
minimum income for all people and for all families of our country supporters
call themselves the yang gang they chant power point as rallies and wear ball
caps with MATH on the front for make America think harder. welcome Democratic
candidate for president Andrew Yang please welcome Andrew please join me in
welcoming Andrew Yang to the stage
what made you want to run for President? so imagine being the guy who's getting
medals from the White House for creating jobs around the country realizing that
your work is like pouring water into a bathtub that has a giant hole ripped in
the bottom I'm a parent I've got two young boys were six and three and I'm
not gonna bring them up in a country that's going to fall apart around them
we need to evolve as fast as possible I'm running for president because I'm
focused on solving the problem that got Donald Trump elected in the first place
in 2016 the reason he is our president today is that we automated away four
million manufacturing jobs we started with millions of manufacturing jobs and
now we're going to do the same thing to millions of retail jobs call center jobs
fast-food jobs we're in the midst of the greatest
economic greatest economic and technological transformation in the
history of the world what experts are calling the fourth Industrial Revolution
fourth Industrial Revolution the stuff that got Donald Trump into office is
just going to accelerate capitalism right now has become this
winner-take-all economy if we continue just to see ourselves as inputs into the
giant capital efficiency machine we lose we need to make this economy work for us
because if the economy doesn't work for us what's the point
instead of using GDP and capital efficiency we should be using things
like how our kids are doing our own mental health and freedom from substance
abuse average income and affordability clean air and clean water and then use
those as the actual measurements of economic progress the slogan for my
campaign is humanity first we're all human beings we all have equal value and
we need to start acting like that yeah Democratic presidential candidate Andrew
yang wants to change the way we think as a society he's put some ideas on the
table that most politicians have not wanted to talk about he's really been
campaigning on a platform of ideas only person talking about all these creative
solutions you actually thought you could get somewhere with us well I was
apparently correct
so what I ask for you all tonight is for you to take this new vision of the
economy this trickle up economy this human centered economy this vision and
make it yours
yang does beat Trump it's like a game of rock-paper-scissors and if Donald
Trump's the scissors I'm the fucking rock
