As Americans, we have invested our tax dollars over many generations in roads, bridges, the USPS, and even the internet, yet companies like Amazon and Netflix who reap billions in profits using those investments pay zero in federal taxes. The Freedom Dividend is how we ensure they are paying their fair share, with our invested tax dollars returned to us as a dividend, similar to a negative income tax.
The Freedom Dividend will reduce government bureaucracy, empower people to make their own decisions, change lives, and save lives. Despite living in one of the richest countries in the history of the world, millions of Americans still can’t cover their basic needs. This dividend will not only lift tens of millions out of poverty, but will also increase economic dynamism and allow for the creation of more local, small businesses. More money in people’s pockets will free Americans to invest in themselves through education and entrepreneurship. The data backs this up. Where similar dividend programs have been implemented they have been shown to improve mental health, reduce crime and abortion rates, all while encouraging economic activity.
