Andrew Yang: Even Jeff Bezos Would Get My $1,000 ‘Freedom Dividend’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BURNETT: "And do you income test that actually in you pay for it in various way that is would affect the wealthier you eliminate the cap on Social Security among other things, right, so — you would make this Progressive. But is this a cap on — on income somehow on the people who receive it?"
YANG: "No, there is no means testing. Jeff Bezos can have it if he wants. This is based on the experience in Alaska where everyone in Alaska regardless of income gets between $1,000 and $2,000 from a petroleum dividend. And if everyone receives it, then it’s universal it’s a right of citizenship. There is no stigma. There is no trying to keep track of who makes what or if there is a change in circumstances. And it makes it politically universally appealing."
