Far right = no government
Far left = all government
Both are equally as dangerous and not dangerous depending on your personal views. One good thing about our government is that leadership changes. This means we don't maintain any particular form of government very long.
I believe I am more of a centrist. My ideal government would be flat taxes and a line item veto so we can hold our elected officials accountable for each line they approve. I would like to see just enough regulation to keep CEO's from crashing the markets and bankers from robbing us blind. I would also like to see government contracts spread around so the good ole boys don't get all the lucrative deals because they are buddies or contribute to certain campaigns.
I would like to see much stiffer penalties for dirty politicians and company executives. They hurt far more people than a crack head with a crack pipe yet they spend far less time behind very lavish bars.
Defining one's terms: "Far right," "Far left"

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...
LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
