2. Only a few nutters actually want to legislate salary caps. Invalid example. Progressive taxation isn't a "strict regulation" and it isn't a new concept so it isn't an example of the left becoming "more" anything as this thread is arguing. Another invalid example.
Look at the crushing kinds of taxation that are commonplace in European nations at the present moment, and how many American Leftists are chomping at the bit to emulate them, and then come back to me and say that with a straight face.
Bottom line: If they perceive you as making "too much money," quite a few ideological Leftists will hold it against you, and try to "correct" that "problem."
3. If you're talking about payroll deductions, they don't regulate what people are allowed to spend money on. They regulate what people aren't allowed to avoid spending money on. And, like progressive taxation, it isn't new so it isn't an example of "more". Another invalid example.
Mandatory health insurance ringing any bells?
4. Only a few nutters want to make hate speech laws. Another invalid example.
Which is why the United States is basically the only nation in the modern Western World not to have them?
We're also the most "Right" leaning. That is not a coincidence.
As a matter of fact, basically the only organizations in favor of Hate Speech Laws in the US tend to be powerful Left Wing organizations like the SPLC, ADL, and ACLU. Hardly "a few" irrelevant "nutters."
5. "Political correctness" is social, not legal, pressure. And the right participates in it as well (e.g. "enhanced interrogation" instead of "torture" or calling Americans who disagree with them "un-American"). People from the right have also tried to force pro-gay businesses to pull ads or otherwise stop expressing themselves. Another invalid example.
The Left is far worse, far more influential, and tries to impose its "relabeling" on a much broader range of subjects.
6. I know many people on the left - probably many more than you do. They don't want any more "strict regulations" on schooling than ever have, so that claim is invalid as well. As far as people on the left supporting CPS, I've seen more people on the right support actual eugenics so give me a break on that one. Another invalid example.
The fact of the matter remains, that if you are going to see any opposition whatsoever against the idea of either Homeschooling or Private Schools (particularly of the religious variety), it is going to be coming from the Left, not the Right.
Again, beyond which, the other inescapable fact of the matter is that a great many overwhelmingly "Leftist" countries have already banned both of these practices outright.
It "takes a village to raise a child," remember? :roll:
