Harvard Professor Says Incomes above $4 Million Should Be Confiscated

Writing for the magazine Foreign Policy, Harvard psychology professor, Howard Gardner, argues that no American should be allowed to earn any more than $4 million per year nor be allowed to keep more than $200 million in total wealth.

“I’m the smartest man in America,” Gardner boasted. “Why should anyone be allowed to make more than I do?”

Gardner threatened to lead a “secession of the ‘intellectual professoriat’ if there’s a Republican administration after the next election.”

Gardner is the originator of the theory of multiple intelligences. In this theory, he hypothesizes that a person can be a genius along one dimension, but a moron along others. Personally demonstrating the validity of this hypothesis has reputedly placed him in line for a Nobel Prize.

Apparently, he himself fits into that category. This is too easy...

Wouldn't this mean that Rush's show would end sometime in the middle of January?

“...$4 million per year...”

He pulled that number out of his a** just prior to inserting his head.

This is the loon whose “multiple intelligences (sic)” theory has given rise to the educational fad called “learning styles.” Side guides (f/k/a teachers) must plan their lessons to accommodate those students who for example possess “kinesthetic intelligence” or intelligence of motion. How a chemistry teacher can implement this nonsense in his classroom is beyond me.

We could only hope.

Yeah!
Right on!

I don't make near that much, and I get to vote. What's to think about?

Say what?
It's right there, in the Constitution, dammit.
The gummint can tax you 100%. They have already done so in times past.

How about driver’s ed? Can you imagine letting a 15 year old have a DL after READING about how to drive a car? And you’re right about its pervasiveness in K12. There are schools where they test kids at the beginning of first grade, then [attempt to] teach them to read, based on their “predominant intelligence.” The irony is that even Gardner publicly admits he has no scientific proof that this works.
