  1. Yang definitely has the strongest stance on this in particular, however, his attacks on the wealth tax and even jobs for all was pretty weak imo. Then the media refused to allow Bernie or Warren to respond to him as if they were just using Yang to hit Bernie's (and Warrens) ideology, wouldn't put it past them.

  2. Kyle I hope you talk about Yang on his arguments against the wealth tax. It boils down to 'some countries in Europe repealed it and it's hard to account for every single painting in a mansion so why should we even try'. Many countries in Europe have a wealth tax today and Germany is currently trying to re-implement theirs due to their own wealth inequality (ours being much worse). It's such a weak argument when you consider Trump repealed the estate tax, does that mean we should automatically never re-implement it? Ronald Reagan removed the high top marginal tax rate because he claimed trickle down economics would fix the system, does that mean we should never re-implement it? I really dislike Yang's answer on that and parts of his answer on jobs for all. This kind of goes hand-in-hand on his idea to place a sunset provision on all regulations, a seriously disastrous idea that I've heard you talk about as well.

  3. I think their platforms are too different. Bernie wants a basic standard of living aka Economic Bill of Rights while Yang wants a federal basic income.
