Virtually any topic, Americans are on what is called the left and in line with Senator Sanders , How is it that that such a huge disconnect exists ?
The labels are overly simplistic.

I consider myself fairly left in Canada, which would be left of left in the US. But I don't believe in taxing the rich. I believe in paying the poor enough that they can afford to pay the taxes.

It wouldn't be perfect but it would be far more effective than the myriad collection of existing programs.
I think the myriad collection of programs is one of our biggest problems. Our money is taxed coming in and going out and there are separate bureaucracies for each, in Ottawa and in the provinces. I'd like to see people taxed once on their income and all the other taxes scrapped. But then it would be so simple that we could actually see whether our taxes were going up or down.
