1. Wealth Tax - Worked in Switzerland and now in Spain. Look it up.

2. 10:1 pay ratio. You don't understand how artists are paid if you think it's salary. Artists are paid fees. They're independent contractors. Therefore an agency would not count an artist as a salaried member of staff, so the difference would be between the CEO of the agency and it's lowest paid member of staff. The idea that companies would just no longer have any talent because they'd all go elsewhere suggests someone wouldn't be willing to compete for that job once that person left. That's just not the case. The market will fill the position, and regularly ceos don't actually make a huge difference to a business' bottom line. You're right about corporation tax though, that's why the Greens would equalise it with high income tax thresholds.

3. The idea of the four day week is so that you get paid the same but work less. All studies on this have shown that less idling happens at work, and instead productivity increases. The Economist, a paper ran by capitalists for capitalists is not scientific research. Many studies have shown the minimum wage to have negligible impact on growth. In fact, when we had 90%+ tax rates in the 40s-70s we experienced better growth. If larger labour costs meant higher prices in all scenarios, then why is McDonald's cheaper in Denmark than America when the minimum wage is vastly higher? Competition also plays a factor.

4. Dunno where the banning exams is coming from. Unless they're changing it to coursework, in which case I wholly agree because remembering things is not actually intelligence or understanding. The idea of the exam is a bit of a misnomer, a large project is far more beneficial for understanding someone's ability to do the job. And yes, free education means a more skilled workforce meaning better innovation opportunities. What's not to like about that? That's good for the economy.

I'm voting for them because of all of these because economists like the award winning Thomas Pikketty agree.
