杨安泽辩论会开场白

如果你听说过我和我的竞选活动，那你应该听说了有个竞选总统的人，他要给每个美国成年人每月发1000美元。我知道这听起来像个噱头，但这是从托马斯·潘恩到马丁·路德·金到今天的一个渊源久远的美国理想。让我告诉你我们为什么要这样做，我们如何来支付这笔钱。

我们为什么需要这样做？自动化已经造成制造业数以百万计的工作岗位流失，很可能下一个就轮到你了。如果你不相信我，那就问一位底特律的汽车工人。

我们如何来支付这笔开支？如果你看到你居住的地方商店在关闭，请举手。（有此经历的）不仅仅是你。亚马逊在美国关闭了30%的商店和购物中心，同时却没有缴任何税。

我们需要做的正好与我们现在做的相反——与唐纳德·特朗普相反的是一个喜欢数学的亚洲人。所以让我用数学来解释一下。

每个成年人每月一千美元，每月将需要四亿六千六百万美元。就在底特律本地，工作被自动化（取代）是今天面临的主要挑战。这就是为什么唐纳德·特朗普成了总统，任何不设法去解决这个问题的政治家都辜负了美国人民。

杨先生，我想请问，你支持全民医保系统。你如何回应Inslee州长（刚才关于全民医保的发言）？

好吧，我想先分享一个故事。当我告诉我的妻子我要竞选总统时。你知道吗，她问我的第一个问题是，我们的医疗保险怎么办？这是一个真实的故事。而且不仅仅是我们家的故事。

民主党人正在以错误的方式谈论医疗保健。作为一个经营过企业的人，我可以告诉你，我们目前的医疗保健系统让雇人更加困难，让企业难以更好地对待员工，给予他们好的待遇，难以雇到全职员工，也让换工作更加困难。参议员Harris刚才也是这样说的。如果把医疗保健这个包袱从企业和家庭身上卸下来，我们就会看到创业的复苏和壮大。这才是我们应该向美国人民提出的议题。

下面是主持人关于移民的问题，杨安泽的回答：

我自己是移民的儿子。我父亲是通过读研究生院移民到这里来的，他为G.E.和IBM发明了超过65项美国专利。我认为对美国来说这是一个非常好的事情。

这是我们需要讲述的移民故事。我们不能只关注那些负面的故事。如果你去密歇根州的一家工厂，你看到的不会是到处的移民。你会发现到处都是机器和机器人。

移民与我们经济上遇到的困境毫无关系，他们却被当成了替罪羊。

谢谢你，杨先生。为什么你是消除美国种族鸿沟的最佳人选？你的回应？

我花了七年的时间经营一家非营利组织，帮助创造了数千个工作岗位，其中包括数百个在底特律这里，以及巴尔的摩，克利夫兰，新奥尔良的工作岗位。我看到的种族差异情况远比我想象的要糟糕得多，而且将会更糟。一项刚刚发布的研究预测，2053年非裔美国人的财富净值中位数将为零。

你不得不问自己，这怎么可能？这是因为我们正处在历史上最严重的经济转型期。

人工智能正出现在劳动市场。它将取代成千上万的电话服务中心工作人员、卡车司机，这都是二十九个州中最普遍的工作，包括（我们现在所在的）这个州。你知道谁在自然灾害中受害最严重？是有色人种，是处于资本、教育和资源低层的人。

那么我们该怎么做呢？我们应该回到马丁·路德·金1967年的著作《等级还是社区》（Castes or Communities），他说美国需要提供最低收入保证。这是真正解决种族不平等问题的最有效方式，让每个美国人在21世纪的经济中都有机会。

杨先生，谢谢你。一个又一个民意调查显示，民主党选民说，对他们而言，一个能够击败特朗普总统的候选人，比在重大问题上与他们意见相同更为重要。根据现在的民意调查，他们说，最有可能击败特朗普总统的候选人是副总统拜登。为什么说他们错了？

我正在建立起一个联盟，其中包括心怀不满的（当初投票给）特朗普选民，无党派人士，自由派和保守派，以及民主党和进步派。

我相信我是能够击败唐纳德·特朗普的最合适的候选人。

至于说到如何在密歇根州，俄亥俄州和宾夕法尼亚州获胜，问题是，很多人觉得经济市场已经抛弃了他们。我们需要做的是告诉他们，你看，GDP和股市价格都创纪录了，但同时自杀，药物过量，抑郁，焦虑也创纪录了，而且已经糟糕到过去三年美国人的预期寿命连续下降。

我还想说说我的妻子，她现在在家里照顾我们的两个儿子，其中一个是自闭症患者。在现行的经济体系中，她的付出如何被衡量？零贡献。我们知道这与事实正好相反。我们知道她所做的是最具挑战性，最重要的工作。

杨先生，平均而言，（做同样的工作，）当男性赚一美元时，年轻女性只赚到80美分。参议员Harris希望惩罚那些不消除性别工资差距的公司。作为一名企业家，您是否认为严厉的罚款会改变公司如何付女性雇员工资的行为？

我亲眼目睹了女性在职场中遭遇的不公平待遇，特别是在新兴企业和创业方面。我们必须在每一步都努力。如果你是一名女企业家，障碍不只是在自己企业内，还有当你寻找导师或投资者时，往往他们看上去跟你不一样，他们可能不认为你的想法是正确的。

为了让女性站稳脚跟，我们要做的就是在各种情况下，在全国范围内，都要特别考虑女性，包括那些在工作岗位和人际关系中被剥削和虐待的人。

我说的是，在餐馆里受到老板骚扰的女服务员，她很可能就有一个商业创意。但是现在，她被困在她所在的地方。我们必须做的是，给予女性经济自由，以便她们能够改善自己的情况并创业。最好的方法是每月将1000美元的红利交到她们手中。

对于全国各地的女性来说，这将是一个改变游戏规则的事情，因为我们知道女性在社会中做了更多未被承认的和无偿的工作。除非我们去做，否则就不会改变。

我要说，这正是我们应该做的。

杨安泽辩论会总结发言

 

你们知道在上一次辩论之后媒体大人物不停地谈论的是什么吗？不是我在全国民意调查中是同台人中排名第四这个事实，而是我没有系领带这件事。

我们没有谈论未来的自动化，包括密歇根州将失去数百万制造业工作这个事实。我们在这里化好妆，准备好了攻击用语，扮演着电视真人秀中的角色。这就是为什么我们选出了一位真人秀明星总统的原因之一。

我们需要极其专注地面对当今的真正挑战，比如美国最常见的工作岗位可能在十年内不再存在，或大多数美国人无法支付日常账单这样的问题。我的主打政策“自由红利”（Freedom Dividend）会每月把1000美元交到每个美国成年人手中，这将彻底改变数百万美国家庭的状况。

如果你更关心你的家人和你的孩子，而不是我脖子上戴着什么，你可以去Yang2020.com网站，输入你的邮政编码，看看每月一千美元对你的社区意味着什么。我已经做了算术。

这不是向左，不是向右，而是向前。这就是我们将如何在2020年击败唐纳德·特朗普的办法。

英文原文

Opening Statement

If you've heard anything about me and my campaign, you've heard that someone is running for president who wants to give every American 1000 dollars a month. I know this may sound like a gimmick, but this is a deeply American idea from Thomas Paine to Martin Luther King to today. Let me tell you why we need to do it and how we pay for it. Why do we need to do it? We already automated away millions of manufacturing jobs, and chances are your job could be next. If you don't believe me, just ask an autoworker here in Detroit. How do we pay for it? Raise your hand in the crowd. If you've seen stores closing where you live. It is not just you. Amazon is closing 30 percent of America's stores and malls and paying zero in taxes while doing it. We need to do the opposite of much of what we're doing right now. And the opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math.So let me share the math.

A thousand dollars a month for every adult would be four hundred sixty one million dollars every month. Right here in Detroit alone, the automation of our jobs is the central challenge facing us today. It is why Donald Trump is our president and any politician not addressing it is failing the American people.

Mr. Yang, I want to bring you in, you support a Medicare for all system. How do you respond to Governor Inslee?

Well, I just want to share a story. When I told my wife I was running for president. You know, the first question she asked me, what are we going to do about our health care? That's a true story. And it's not just us.

Democrats are talking about health care the wrong way. As someone who has run a business, I can tell you flat out, our current health care system makes it harder to hire. It makes it harder to treat people well and give them benefits and treat them as full time employees. It makes it harder to switch jobs. Senator Harris just said. And it's certainly a lot harder to start a business. If we say, look, we're going to get health care off the backs of businesses and families, then watch American entrepreneurship recover and bloom. That's the argument we should be making to the American people. 

Andrew Yang's answer for immigration issue.

I'm the son of immigrants myself. My father immigrated here as a graduate student and generated over sixty five U.S. patents for G.E. and IBM. I think that's a pretty good deal for the United States. That's the immigration story we need to be telling. We can't always be focusing on some of the distressed stories. And if you go to a factory here in Michigan, you will not find wall to wall immigrants. You will find wall to wall robots and machines. Immigrants are being scapegoated for issues they have nothing to do with in our economy. 

Thank you, Mr. Yang. Why are you the best candidate to heal the racial divide in America? Your response? 

I spent seven years running a nonprofit that helped create thousands of jobs, including hundreds right here in Detroit as well as Baltimore, Cleveland, New Orleans. And I saw that the racial disparities are much, much worse than I'd ever imagined. They're even worse still. The study just came out that projected the average American African-American median net worth will be zero by 2053. 

You have to ask yourself, how is that possible? It's possible because we're in the midst of the greatest economic transformation in our history. Artificial intelligence is coming. It's going to displace hundreds of thousands of call center workers, truck drivers, the most common job in twenty nine states, including this one. And you know who suffers most in a natural disaster? It's people of color, people who have lower levels of capital and education and resources. So what are we going to do about it? We should just go back to the writings of Martin Luther King, who in 1967, his book, Castes or Communities, said we need a guaranteed minimum income in the United States of America. That is the most effective way for us to address racial inequality in a genuine way and give every American a chance in the 21st century economy.

Mr. Yang, thank you very much. In poll after poll, Democratic voters saying that having a nominee who can beat President Trump is more important to them than having a nominee who agrees with him on major issues. And right now, according to polls, they say the candidate who has the best chance of doing that, of beating President Trump is Vice President Biden. Why are they wrong?

Well, I'm building a coalition of disaffected Trump voters, independents, libertarians and conservatives, as well as Democrats and progressives. I believe I'm the candidate best suited to beat Donald Trump. And as for how to win in Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania. The problem is that so many people feel like the economy has left them behind. Well, we have to do is we have to say, look, there's record high GDP and stock market prices, you know, and also record highs, suicides, drug overdoses, depression, anxiety. It's gotten so bad that American life expectancy has declined for the last three years. And I'd like to talk about my wife was at home with our two boys right now, one of whom is autistic. What is her work count out in today's economy? Zero. And we know that's the opposite of the truth. We know that her work is among the most challenging and vital. 

Mr. Yang, Young women, on average earn about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. Senator Harris wants to fine companies that don't close their gender pay gaps. As an entrepreneur, do you think a stiff fine will change how companies pay their female employees?

I have seen firsthand the inequities in the business world where women are concerned, particularly in startups and entrepreneurship. We have to do more at every step. And if you're a woman entrepreneur, the obstacles start not just at home, but then when you seeking a mentor or an investor, often they don't look like you and they might not think your idea is the right one. In order to give women a leg up, what we have to do is we have to think about women in every situation, including the ones who are in exploitative and abusive jobs and relationships around the country. I'm talking about the waitress who is getting harassed by her boss at the diner who might have a business idea. But right now, we're stuck where she is. Well, we have to do is we have to give women the economic freedom to be able to improve their own situations and start businesses. And the best way to do this is by putting a dividend of 1000 dollars a month into their hands.

It would be a game changer for women around the country because we know that women do more of the unrecognized and uncompensated work in our society. It will not change unless we change it. And I say that's just what we do.

Closing Statement

Do you know what the talking heads couldn't stop talking about after the last debate? It's not the fact that I'm somehow number four on the stage in national polling. It was a fact that I wasn't wearing a tie.

Instead of talking about automation in our future, including the fact that we automated away for million manufacturing jobs, hundreds of thousands right here in Michigan, we're up here with makeup on our faces and our rehearsed attack lines playing roles in this reality TV show. It's one reason why we elected a reality TV star as our president.

We need to be laser focused on solving the real challenges of today. Like the fact that the most common jobs in America may not exist in a decade or that most Americans cannot pay their bills. My flagship proposal, the Freedom Dividend, would put 1000 dollars a month into the hands of every American adult, be a game changer for millions of American families. If you care more about your family and your kids than my neck wear, enter your zip code at Yang2020.com and see what a thousand dollars a month would mean to your community. I have done the math. It's not left. It's not right. It's forward. And that is how we're going to beat Donald Trump in 2020.
