IT, YES.

>> Tucker: GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> YOU TOO.

>> Tucker: LAST YEAR, AMAZON

THE COMPANY MADE $11 BILLION IN

PROFIT.

THAT IS ONE-THIRD OF THE GDP OF

THE ENTIRE STATE OF VERMONT.

IT IS A TON OF MONEY.

BUT REMARKABLY, AMAZON DID NOT

PAY A SINGLE DIME OF FEDERAL

INCOME TAX, AND THEY ARE NOT

ALONE.

DOZENS OF POSSIBLE CORPORATIONS

PAY NOTHING IN FEDERAL INCOME

TAXES THIS YEAR.

DELTA AIR LINES, CHEVRON, GM,

MORE.

SOME ARE EVEN GETTING TAX

REBATES THEY CAN APPLY LATER.

IT IS A WEIRD SYSTEM WE HAVE.

OUR TAX CODE IS BROKEN, BUT

ALMOST NO ONE IS SAYING ANYTHING

ABOUT IT FOR A DEMOCRATIC

PRESIDENT A CANDIDATE ANDREW

YANG IS.

HE HAS A PLAN HE SAID WOULD

CHANGE IT.

WE TALKED TO HIM ABOUT HIS PLAN

A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

>> Tucker: SEE YOU MAKE THE

CASE THAT THESE COMPANIES TAKE

AMAZON, BUT IT COULD BE CHEVRON,

GM, BECAUSE TAXPAYERS HAVE IN

PART GIVEN TO THEM AND THEY ARE

GIVING NOTHING IN RETURN.

HOW ARE WE FIXING THIS?

SPEAKER AMAZON IS THE MOST

EGREGIOUS EXAMPLE, THEY ARE

SOAKING UP $20 BILLION IN BUSINS

SOAKING UP $20 BILLION IN BUSINA

SOAKING UP $20 BILLION IN BUSIND

CAUSING 30% OF AMERICANS

MALLS AND STORES TO CLOSE, AND

TAXPAYERS SEE ZERO IN RETURN.

IF YOU LOOK AT WHETHER ADVANCED

ECONOMIES HAVE DONE, THEY FIGURE

THIS OUT.

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN P

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN A

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN E

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN T

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN M

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN Z

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN N

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN I

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN S

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN G

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN I

WE NEED TO HAVE A MECHANISM IN G

TO PAY ITS FAIR SHARE, ALONG

WITH NETFLIX, THE OTHER

COMPANIES THAT ARE PAYING ZERO

IN TAXES.

VALLEY AFTER-TAX, THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE WOULD GET A TINY SLICE OF

EVERY GOOGLE SEARCH, ON AND ON,

VERY TOUGH FOR COMPANIES TO GET

OUT OF AN ADDED TAX SYSTEM.

>> Tucker: WHY DON'T WE HAVE

THAT?

>> GREAT QUESTION.

PEOPLE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR QUITE

SOME TIME, IN MY CAMPAIGN IS

ADVOCATING AND CHAMPIONING IT

RIGHT NOW, WE NEED TO WISE UP

THAT COMPANIES LIKE AMAZON ARE

VERY SMART AND MOVING THEIR

EARNINGS THROUGH PLACES LIKE IRE

EARNINGS THROUGH PLACES LIKE IRA

EARNINGS THROUGH PLACES LIKE IRD

EARNINGS THROUGH PLACES LIKE IR,

EARNINGS THROUGH PLACES LIKE IRS

EARNINGS THROUGH PLACES LIKE IRE

NOTHING OF IT.

MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO

SELL IN OUR SOCIETY WITHOUT

COST.

>> Tucker: THE BANKRUPTCY OF

COUNTLESS AMERICAN BUSINESSES.

THERE IS ALSO THE FACT THEY

BASICALLY SUBSIDIZED THEIR LABOR

COSTS USING OUR SOCIAL SERVICES.

WHAT IS THE COST OF THAT, DO YOU

THINK?

>> IS IN THE BILLIONS OR TENS OF

BILLIONS.

ONE INSTANCE WHERE McDONALD'S

WAS SENDING ITS PEOPLE

INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO FILE

FOR VARIOUS SOCIAL SERVICES.

YOU ARE RIGHT, SOCIAL PROGRAMS

HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING THE

LOW-WAGE PATTERNS MANY OF THESE

EMPLOYERS.

>> Tucker: SO WHY ARE YOU THE

ONLY CANDIDATE WHO IS THINKING

THROUGH WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

NO MATTER?

IS A KIND OF WEIRD?

>> I THINK IT IS WEIRD PAIRED

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT

OTHER COUNTRIES, OTHER ADVANCED

ECONOMIES HAVE FIGURED IT OUT,

AND WE ARE THE ONLY ADVANCED

ECONOMY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A

VALUE-ADDED TAX IN PLACE.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY

SEEING SOME OF THE GAINS FROM

THE INCREDIBLE INNOVATION AND

VALUE THAT COMPANIES LIKE AMAZON

AND SALESFORCE, NETFLIX, ALL OF

WHOM PAID ZERO IN TAXES LAST

YEAR, OR GETTING AWAY WITH.

AND THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB,

PAY AS LITTLE IN TAXES AS

POSSIBLE.

WE HAVE TO DO OUR JOB, MAKE SURE

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEE OUR FAIR

SHARE.

>> Tucker: JUST TO ARGUE THE

OTHER SIDE FOR A SECOND, THAT

WOULD PRESUMABLY INCREASE THE

COST OF AMERICANS AMEI

COST OF AMERICANS AMEA

COST OF AMERICANS AMEN

COST OF AMERICANS AMEC

COST OF AMERICANS AMEN

COST OF AMERICANS AMEU

COST OF AMERICANS AMEE

COST OF AMERICANS AMES

COST OF AMERICANS AMEO

COST OF AMERICANS AMEF

GOODS?

>> IN SOME WAYS, COMPANIES WILL

FIND COST EFFICIENCY OR EAT PART

OF IT, BUT THAT IS ONE REASON MY

CAMPAIGN WANTS TO TAKE DOWN

MONEY WE ARE GETTING FROM THE

ADDED VALUE TAX AND RETURN IT TO

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE FORM

OF A DIVIDEND.

THAT IS THE MOST DIRECT WAY WE

CAN HAVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

BENEFIT.

THE FEAR IS THAT EVEN IF WE DO

END UP INCREASING THE TAX RATE

ON SOME OF THESE COMPANIES, THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE WON'T BENEFIT

FROM THAT.

>> Tucker: BECAUSE THAT MONEY

WILL BE SWALLOWED BY OUR

POLITICAL MACHINE SOMEHOW?

>> YEAH, IT WILL GO INTO THE

GIANT PIPES OF D.C., NEVER TO BE

SEEN OR HEARD FROM AGAIN.

THE GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT

DOESN'T HAPPEN BY PUTTING THOSE

ECONOMIC RESOURCES DIRECTLY TO

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

>> Tucker: WOULDN'T THAT BE

BAD FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN

THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND ON

PROPERTY HERE?

WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER FOR US IF

WE COULD HOARD ALL OF THE MONEY?

>> I HAVE A FEELING ALL OF YOU

WOULD BE FINE.

WASHINGTON, D.C., THE HIGHEST

PER CAPITA INCOME IN THE COUNTRY

AT THIS POINT.

I'VE A FEELING THE BOUTIQUE

RESTAURANTS WILL HAVE PLENTY OF

BUSINESS.

>> Tucker: BECAUSE WE ARE

MAKING INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS THE

WARD WANTS TO BUY.

NO, YOU'RE TAKING THE MONEY AND
