I have been accused by a few of having "far left" values. These are a few of the policies I support:
- Free health care for everybody;
- Millionaires and billionaires should pay fair tax;
- Monetary and fiscal policies should target low unemployment, not just low inflation;
- There should be excellent, free government schools, as there are in, say, Finland;
- We need to cut emissions fast, and not just rely on hopium;
- There should be a decent safety net for our poorest fellow citizens;
- Equal rights for all.
It doesn't strike me that these are even particularly left-wing. And most people want something similar. Which is why the Right has to make up lies about it, while using culture wars to drum up their votes.
