THE FREEDOM DIVIDEND
The Freedom Dividend is a universal basic income, proposed by
Andrew Yang, a candidate for President in the 2020 Democratic Primary.
This form of basic income would be a set of guaranteed payments of $1,000 per month, or $12,000 per year, to all U.S. citizens over the age of 18. Yes, that means you and everyone you know would get $1,000/month every month from the U.S. government, no questions asked.
This will create a massive economic stimulus for small towns, because much of this money will be spent locally.
