Tax Silicon Valley to Fund Universal Basic Income Plan
On 8th April 2019, Andrew said that the U.S. economy needs to evolve into its next form, noting that automation and technology like driverless cars are expected to displace millions of workers in coming years. According to him, the new economy includes giving a $1,000 check every month to every American adult.
Andrew, a once upon lawyer who turned-tech executive outlined his form of a universal basic income program to George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week on Sunday.
“We have to solve the problems that got Donald Trump elected in 2016,” Yang told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on This Week Sunday. “And to me the main driver of his victory was that we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the swing states he needed to win.”

He also pointed to the Alaska Permanent Fund as proof that UBI programs can work in the U.S.
“Everyone in the state gets between $1,000 and $2,000 a year from oil money,” Yang said. “And because it’s oil money, there’s no stigma attached, it’s not a rich to poor transfer, and it’s wildly popular in a conservative state. […] So what we have to do is we make it a right of citizenship for all Americans and do what they are doing in Alaska with oil money, with technology money for everyone around the country.”
Yang claimed that he’d fund his UBI program, dubbed the Freedom Dividend, with a value-added tax.
Talking to Stephanopoulos, Yang said, “What we have to do is, we have to join every other advanced economy and have a value added tax that would fall on the Amazons of the world, and because our economy is now so vast at $20 trillion, up $5 trillion in the last 12 years, a value added tax at even half the European level would generate over $800 billion in new revenue.”

Evelyn Yang Eileen Lee
Evelyn went to Columbia University and later traveled to Shanghai as her higher education career included international studies. Evelyn met with Eileen Lee during the study abroad program and immediately became friends. Lee became Venture for America’s Chief Operating Officer when it first launched.
In an interview with Medium in May of 2017, Lee said; “I met the founder, Andrew Yang, through his wife, Evelyn, in late 2010. At Columbia, Evelyn and I met while studying abroad in Shanghai, and she had the intuition that Andrew and I would work well together. She and I had both left corporate jobs after 5+ years, and I was in the midst of pivoting my career when I met with him.”
Before deciding to attend Columbia University, Evelyn had a career in the corporate sector. Later she became a marketing executive at L’Oréal before quitting her job to take care of their two sons.
