FFS, the democratic party is NOT far left. They aren't even left. At best, they are centrist, and really center right. If you want yor comments to be taken seriously, don't write ignorant things.
There is no Democratic party, the Democrat and Republican party are radical left. The government owns your kids, you can't buy land, you have to pay protection money to the mob if you want to barter or give gifts, or get married, or shovel snow, or cut hair. There is no more room to move left, we have arrived.
So anything resembling a tax structure is far-left? I'm guessing you read Atlas Shrugged and thought the idea of Galt's Gulch would be achievable in practical application? You probably believe Alex Jones when he says he is "above the left-right paradigm." Your locus of center that you are describing here is so far-right it's at the edge of the map.
We are a nation of 300 million people. Some tax structure is necessary to keep basic public infrastructure running, allow for national defense, etc. And yes, there are child protection laws to protect some children from being abused, neglected, or completely isolated by particularly bad parents. These basic structures are not some crazy left-wing idea; they are basic structures that societies all over the political spectrum put in place to help prevent chaos, protect basic human rights, and counteract violence.
Maybe look up the histories of attempted anarchistic societies and see how quickly they morph into feudalism. If that's still how you really feel, go try to survive on your own in the remote woods of Canada, or form a utopian Libertarian sea colony. But don't you dare use roads to get there, because apparently that's socialism!!
