Quote:Is it fair then to say that all progressives would consider themselves liberal, but not all liberals subscribe to progressivism? Progressivism in theory is supposed to be for all us “ordinary” people, yes? But, it doesn’t feel that way.
I'm more of centrist liberal myself and certainly am NOT a progressive. I think capitalism, if checked with some common sense regulations, is actually a good system, and am not that keen on "eating the rich" (I'm on a diet). I also think we have a responsibility to the impoverished in our society to help them. But I'm not for any socialist dispensation of funds to them. Help them receive training and employment in good paying jobs. Free college education would also be a good start in that direction. I'm also for universal health care, no matter how long the lines in the ER.
