DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang said if he won the White House, he’d turn Tax Day into a party.

“I would turn Tax Day into revenue day. I would make it a national holiday and we would celebrate the fact that we had another awesome year, hundreds of billions in new revenue, and we’d have a party and we’d have it a national party,” Yang told Iowans who stopped to listen to his 20-minute pitch Friday at the Iowa State Fair.

“There would be a thank you video from Oprah and The Rock and Tom Hanks saying thank you America we did it for one more year, here’s where your money went.”

Yang’s big idea, which has propelled his presidential run, is giving Americans a universal basic income. He’s dubbed it “the freedom dividend” and it would give adults $1,000 a month. He’s spoken at length about how taxpayers are “the owners of this country” and should act as such.

On Friday that also meant putting the Internal Revenue Service to work.

“This will be really popular too,” he said. “I think we should have it so the IRS fills our taxes out for us. Why are we all knocking our heads out trying to figure out our taxes every year? They know what our taxes are. They have the taxes every previous year. They can just like fill out our forms and you can sign off.”

“And then you can do something meaningful with your day,” Yang added, pitching a big, national party every April 15, the day tax forms are traditionally due.

Yang is one of the quirkier Democratic candidates, having not previously run for office, but he’s attracted a cult following – the “Yang Gang” – who often come dressed in his answer to President Trump’s “MAGA” hats.

His say “MATH” instead – Make America Think Harder – as the candidate said at the last debate,

“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.”

Earlier this week Yang beat a number of better-known politicians in qualifying for the third debate, which will kick off Sept. 12 in Houston, Texas.
