srael is in trouble internally, and it is a result of the perceived Right-Left polarization of the electorate. It is almost a crime to be labeled a Leftist, and yet few actually understand what the terms mean. During the past 15 years I have witnessed elections successively deteriorate on quality-of-life issues. Has anyone stopped to ask why no politician is talking about an income tax and fee rate over 50% and a VAT of 17%?
