CBS to 2020 Dem: Instead of Free Money, What About Guaranteed Income?

[See NewsBusters for more.] A day after a CBS host endorsed a 2020 Democrat’s plan to give $1000 a month to every American, This Morning’s Anthony Mason on Thursday asked Andrew Yang if maybe a guaranteed income would be a better idea. During day two of the CBS Yang profile, Mason cheered, “But he's put some ideas on the table that most politicians have not wanted to talk about.” The co-host hailed Yang’s far-left views as “bold” and added, “He betting that Americans feel things are getting better and want to hear about that.” Mason touted, “Yang’s solution, the cornerstone of his campaign, is the freedom dividend. He'd pay every adult $1,000 a month no strings attached and fund in part with a ten percent value added tax on business production.”
