    The Green Party has some good ideas and some that appear to be borderline insane. For instance the policy page on their website talks about a "maximum income", which means they will tax all of what anyone makes over 10 times the minimum wage.

    So if the minimum wage is $7.50, anything you make over $75k a year will be taxed at 100%.

    • Aye, the green party here wants entirely open borders. Boy, that'll come back and shit on their nicely-mown lawn in a generation.detritus
    • The good news for many is when the minimum hits $15/hr the taxation will begin on money you make after $115komg
    • Question is whether they are referring to net or gross income.omg
    • I'm just skimming but I think you meant $150kmoldero
    • Moldero - yes you are right.omg
    • You really have to worry whether or not corporations will pack up and move to another country in lack of support for American people.omg
    • Also if you work 40hrs per week for 52 weeks @ $15/ per hour totals $31,200omg
    • Maybe you're right, but they don't explain it at all on their website.yuekit
    • They are also going to ban all GMOs and nuclear energy, good luck with that.yuekit
    • What i know about GMOs are that they offer a lot of unfair corporate practices that stop other farmers from growing their own crops.omg
    • In terms of energy, I think solar, wind, and hydros are much better alternatives to nuclear.omg
    • You need to learn more then

    • It would be harder to challenge these then they're also the same people funding the Democratic party.omg
    • It would be harder to challenge these when the corporations behind GMOs and nuclear energy are the same people funding the Democratic party.omg
    • Yes but the Greens are totally controlled by the healing crystal industry.yuekit
    • berkley commune-istdeathboy
    • Haha, the healing crystal.omg
    • They would start min wage at $12.50 (in 2000) and adjust for cost of living to now. Then tax 100% over 10x the min wage.nb
    • So, let's say the min wage under them ends up being $15/hr. That would mean NO ONE in the country could make over $150/hr??? Insane.nb
    • After reading this, I honestly think the Green Party would be worse than Trump! hahahahahnb
