The idea of giving $1,000 to every American adult was first made popular by ex-presidential candidate Andrew Yang
...Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Unlike most of the other Dem 2020 candidates, he actually did things besides politix in his adult life, which made him political poison. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded Venture for America, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a
Champion of Changeand in 2015 as a
Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. His signature campaign policy is what he calls the

Human-Centered Capitalism....
Hawaii Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a candidate in the Democratic primary race, introduced a bill with a similar proposal in the House last week.
