Jello Biafra (born Eric Boucher, June 17, 1958) punk rock musician, spoken word artist, and activist
From his address to the US Green Party
- "We don't need a flat tax, but a flattening tax, to truly level the playing field."
- "Our biggest national security threat is the environmental destruction of our planet and the arms race with ourselves."
- "I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself. We still need government to transfer the wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little, to make sure important projects get done, and keep territorial humans from screwing over and killing each other."
- "What does it say about our country when people are so desperate for an alternative to our one-party state masquerading as a two-party state that they'll even elect a professional wrestler governor?"
- "Don't hate the media, become the media."
