Why I’m Not Voting for the Green Party

This is taken from their website at greenparty.org, in their national policy section:

“Maximum Income: Build into the progressive income tax a 100% tax on all income, regardless of source, over ten times the minimum wage. With this Ten Times Rule in effect under today’s extremely unequal distribution of income in the U.S., a 100% tax on income above ten times the minimum wage would allow us to cut the income taxes of everyone in the bottom 99%, by over half for the top brackets, by over three-quarters in the middle brackets, and totally for the lower brackets-and still generate about 40% more tax revenues than under the current income tax structure.”

So—lose those skills, folks! They won’t do you any good should Nader get into power. Take up farming, garbage collecting or shudder telemarketing. Cuz if you make more than that, you lose it all.

In other news, this is my last week in Chicago. I can’t say that’s a happy thing—while I like being home, I also like having 3 days a week off. That’s the bees’ knees. After this, it looks like eb’ll be working for Ariba. I’m about to look that up.

Go out and vote tomorrow, dammit! It’s important!
