Military spending should be debatable, I know it's portrayed as a right wing philosophy but it requires tax dollars, small government shouldn't have a need for a large military. Leftist States spend large sums of money on military also, so you can't say that's just a right wing thing.
Regulation means government oversight and entitlements. We see the government pass more legislation then we see them get rid of right?
I was asking what definition of middle ground should we use? The Bolsheviks are almost more right then any political party in Canada, Socialism isn't it awesome!

Tax rates have declined significantly, especially to the very wealthy. It is an outright lie to say that they are now being taxed more, look at the tax rates in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s (use 1960 as an example).
Over 1.5 million (in 2013 dollars) was taxed at 91% in 2013 it was 39%.
