When their platform is to raise taxes, illegals ahead of citizens, take guns away, open the boarders, and most of all impeach Trump, one has to really stretch to stand out from the herd.<br \/>\nEnter Andrew Yang.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>By: Will Sommer<br \/>\nOutsider presidential hopeful Andrew Yang\u2019s latest idea is both literally and figuratively his most unorthodox yet: He\u2019s taking a strong public stance against circumcision.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic candidate revealed in a little-noticed tweet last week that he was against the ritualized practice of cutting a newborn\u2019s foreskin. But in an interview with The Daily Beast, he said that if he were elected he would incorporate that view into public policy, mainly by pushing initiatives meant to inform parents that they don\u2019t need to have their infants circumcised for health reasons. <\/p>\n<p>Yang, an entrepreneur whose candidacy is fueled by grassroots donations, appears to be the first presidential candidate in history to take a public position on circumcision. But that\u2019s not a terrible surprise to those who have followed his upstart presidential campaign. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yang2020.com\/policies\/\">dozens of position statements<\/a> on his campaign website, ranging from the obscure to the existential. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Among those statements is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yang2020.com\/policies\/the-freedom-dividend\/\">The Freedom Dividend<\/a>, which opines-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Andrew would implement a Universal Basic Income, \u2018The Freedom Dividend,\u2019 of $1,000\/month, $12,000 a year for every American adult over the age of 18. This is independent of one\u2019s work status or any other factor. This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now that&#8217;s the way to jump up in the polls! Surprising no one, our own Master Chief has an opinion, which he was kind enough to share with us along with the link.
