1. What "far left'?
The proposals of the so called "far left" are very very modest. Is health care for all "far left"? Are living wage jobs "far left"? Is demanding a government that tells the truth "far left"? Is questioning the wisdom of unilateraly invading a soveriegn state "far left"? Is questioning a ballooning debt to our children "far left"? What on earth is now considered "far left"?

2. If you are against increasing the birth tax - the deficit - you're far lef
The Birth Tax is the only tax that being against makes you far-left.
