8th Democratic Primary Debate: on Jobs


Andrew Yang: Trump is the symptom of the disease of job loss

Trump is a symptom of a disease. You know who's been losing this entire time? Our communities have. We've automated away four million manufacturing jobs. We're closing 30% of New Hampshire stores and malls, and Amazon, the force behind that, is literally paying zero in taxes. If we get done the hard work of curing those problems, we will not just defeat Donald Trump in the fall, but we'll actually be able to move our communities forward.
