re: #469 Van Helsing

Again, snark.
I’m asking for 3 to 5 paragraphs that would give me a good idea of what a 21st progressive is. (sorry, ran out of italics).

Lemme try and sum up what I see as “progressivism” in a few sentences for your perusal: It is the government taking a role to ensure that individuals and groups cannot turn economic advantage into legal advantage.

We are all supposed to be equal before the law, but not necessarily in our earnings and assets.

Progressivism was a movement to make sure that those who were at the top of the food chain did not enjoy any undue advantages over those who were at the bottom, whether it be their own misfortune or the whims of fate and history.
