On Technology: Tax tech giants to share in gains from growth

Andrew Yang, a candidate virtually unknown outside tech circles, packed his room at SXSW. While he described Warren's anti-monopoly position as "unimaginative" & "retrograde," he too believes in taxing tech. Yang says because artificial intelligence is destroying jobs, the tech industry should pay for a universal basic income.

"We have to devise a system that helps more Americans share in the gains from growth in companies like Amazon, instead of just being able to access cheap goods," he said.
