You believe in promoting social equality through progressive taxation, social safety nets, and government regulation of businesses.
Economic progressivism is a political ideology that advocates for economic reforms that promote social justice and equality. This ideology is rooted in the belief that the government should play a significant role in mitigating economic disparities and ensuring fair distribution of wealth. Economic progressives argue for policies such as progressive taxation, where the rich are taxed more heavily than the poor, and social safety nets, such as welfare programs and unemployment benefits, to protect the most vulnerable members of society.
The history of economic progressivism dates back…

Is it the government's role to regulate businesses to protect the environment, even if it means lower profits for those businesses?
@9H9V9D42yrs2Y
I think there has to be a middle ground, because on one hand big corporations can take that hit, smaller businesses would probably be the most harmed.
@9HCMHRQ2yrs2Y
Yes. Many businesses cannot be trusted with environmental protection, and the government should be able to regulate them.
@9HCKSZV2yrs2Y
Yes, because without our environment remaining healthy and unpolluted, we will deal with enduring issues that prevent us from further growth and advancement as a society due to health issues, resources being used up, and our environment being destroyed.
@9H7RVCD2yrs2Y
Gov't should stay out of businesses unless relevant. It wouldn't make sense if the gov started controlling a restaurant full of its own tax payers. Who probably wouldn't be happy. The only regulations gov should be doing is "Wages" and maybe be a bit more strict on sanitation, employee safety, basic importance's.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How important do you think it is for everyone to have the same access to education, regardless of their family's income?
I believe it is extremely important to ensure that the majority of the population is well educated and has equal access to said education regardless of income.
@9KJPGFN1yr1Y
I don’t agreed that everybody needs to attend college. There are tons of different ways to make money
@9KFNJ7VRepublican1yr1Y
i belive tha the current system allows for equal opportunity
@9KFNF6K1yr1Y
every one should be able to access the same education
@9KFTXM71yr1Y
I believe its important for everyone to have the same opportunity for education
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would free access to all levels of education affect your choice in pursuing your passions?
@9KFN8R41yr1Y
I would be able to pursue the career I've always wanted to pursue.
@9KFNDCW1yr1Y
It would help a lot not just for me, but for others as well.
@9KFNN6V1yr1Y
It would make it a lot easier. A lot of people can't pursue what they want to because it's so expensive.
@9KFN52X1yr1Y
Man I don't know any of this hippie stuff, give them less schooling for all i care
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea of equal access to healthcare for all make you feel about the society you live in?
@9KFPWMY1yr1Y
I believe everyone should have equal access to healthcare if we truly want to help people and provide care to those who need it.
@9KFNCPY1yr1Y
I think this is a good thing for people with health problems and debilities.
@9KFN6ZR1yr1Y
Makes me wish we had equal access to healthcare for all.
@9KFN5MVIndependent1yr1Y
It makes me feel like we are giving less fortunate people a chance for once.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would it make you more or less competitive if you knew that your basic needs would always be covered by government safety nets?
Put ease and worry about making sure I have enough money or support if the government provided my basic needs.
@9JQ5SGF1yr1Y
I think that it wouldnt change my mentality because I hope I will be above and not need my basic needs covered
@9JQ5RZF1yr1Y
I think that it wouldn't change my mentality because I want to achieve what I want to achieve which is more than what covers my basic needs.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel about a society where public transportation is excellent but personal vehicle taxes are higher?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel about a policy that redistributes unused houses to the homeless, potentially changing the dynamics of real estate investment?
I think that is a good idea; everyone deserves to have a safe home to sleep in.
@9JDSKK8Constitution1yr1Y
Our constitution is based upon freedom, what you propose is illegal appropriation of private property
@9JC6Z5L2yrs2Y
I think it's a good idea that the homeless should use unused houses because they shouldn't sleep in cold, frizzy, snowy, and rainy nights.
@9JC7F6MLibertarian2yrs2Y
I don’t think giving unused homes to the homeless is a good idea. It is supporting lazy behavior to give them something they didn’t earn. The housing market for working individuals would also sky rocket causing homes only to be affordable for the rich.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the promise of debt-free higher education change your approach to choosing a career or pursuing your passion?
@9JKWSHYRepublican1yr1Y
I would want to find a high oaying job beucase the tax would have to go upp
@9JKWZ8D1yr1Y
it would not change my approach to choosing a career
@9JKX6K81yr1Y
I could choose a career in the medical or law field because the expenses would not be as great.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If a wealthy individual’s taxes ensured your access to a world-class education, would that change your perspective on wealth and responsibility?
@9JJNBZM1yr1Y
no because you should have to sacrifice to gain not someone else
@9JN9FYP1yr1Y
Automatically assuming an individuals success, ensures another’s failure, is a folly. Work hard and stay the course. If you graduate from high school, stay at a job, don’t have kids out of wedlock and get married. Your chances of landing in the middle class are extremely high.
@9JJN7KY1yr1Y
it does not because anyone can become wealthy with the right choices and doesn't always need education to do so
@9JJMZC8Independent1yr1Y
People who make more money have big egos, and have barely responsiblity.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you knew your favorite products were made ethically and workers were paid fairly, would you mind paying more?
@9HTLV542yrs2Y
Yes I would mind paying more, the coverage of workers shouldn't be the consumers responsibility but rather the governments duty to protect its citizens from being take advantaged of.
@9HVVJTZ2yrs2Y
workers should be paided fairly already forgien products where they use child labor we should boycott
@9HVTBYN2yrs2Y
The cost of producing a product is often a great expense to a company that should be compensated by those who desire it, and not the government. More so if time was taken to make it well.
Yeah I would, but we should try to keep it as inexpensive as possible so people are able to afford it.
@9HXWPNX 2yrs2Y
I wouldn't mind paying more if I knew the money was going to the people who make the product first, then going to pay for the rest of the business. However, I don't think this would require paying more, just that businesses prioritize paying the right people.
@9HTLGWZ2yrs2Y
I would rather pay more for a product that is ethical than pay less for one that isn't
@9HTDW8C2yrs2Y
If they were locally made by my neighbors and peers I would not mind at all
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if higher-quality public transportation was offered, but it meant everyone, including you, had to pay more in taxes?
@9HF2QLH2yrs2Y
No thank you, people are already struggling to pay taxes and bills as it is, don’t break our salaries.
@9HF2Q6D2yrs2Y
I would be in support of it but only a slight tax increase.
@9HF2XSN2yrs2Y
I would support it as long as it is free to use for anyone.
@9HF2BWBProgressive2yrs2Y
Paying higher taxes in order to fill the pockets of the rich is theft. However, paying higher taxes to support the overall wellbeing of the people, including oneself, is worth it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think having free college education for everyone is worth higher taxes?
@9H7KDK5Republican2yrs2Y
Collage is an option that you decide to do. You can get a good stable way of income without college.
@9H7K6XJ2yrs2Y
Economic progressivism has not inevitable due to democratic or populist beliefs and should be put in to law by factual and lawful order/judgment.
@9H7KFF52yrs2Y
No because I think some of the money would go to waste on people that wouldn't use the degree or college experience correctly.
@9H7JYFLRepublican2yrs2Y
I think that college education should come with a price, or else there is nothing special about it. If you are not paying anything, the level or quality at which you are being taught will be lesser.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would you be more motivated to succeed if you knew everyone had an equal start in life?
@9HXDRCV2yrs2Y
I think yea , because it would be more like who is been more and who is not . Yes because people that way have the same things and no one has like advantage
@9HXDHFNPeace and Freedom 2yrs2Y
Progressivism is best expressed with fascism. Fascist Socialism: “it is Government and not the nominal private owners that exercise all of the substantive powers of ownership: it, not the nominal private owners, decide what is to be produced, in what quantity, by what methods, and to whom it is to be distributed, as well as what prices will be charged and what wages will be paid, and what dividends or other income the nominal private owners will be permitted to receive.”
@9HXD3V9Independent2yrs2Y
Yes I would be more motivated as I would not have to worry about others less fortunate than me.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you believe that everyone, regardless of their job, deserves to have a secure retirement?
@9H4X6SM2yrs2Y
Yes, they should be getting a good income and should be .
@9H4YW8R2yrs2Y
I believe that they do deserve a secure retirement after having some time in the working field. It is good to know that someone can enjoy their life with family after spending a great amount of that time stuck and providing money for those who needed it.
@9H4XJD62yrs2Y
No. This is a capitalist society and you get what you earn. If someone did not save and invest well for retirement then that is on them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would the dream of becoming a millionaire be as appealing if it meant paying more to support public welfare?
@9HYZ6Z32yrs2Y
I think as long as your still consistently a millionaire, it would be just as appealing because you're still a millionaire. But the point isn't to not want people to be millionaires so I guess it doesn't matter.
@9J52NTH2yrs2Y
Beign amillionaire you must be creative and advance our technology or an aspect of oour countrys society ina way to then have customers and profit. Your products must be innovative to have profits and with th enow new payments of public welfare in which you must pay can hurt and damage the motivation for creative and potentially
@9HYZ2762yrs2Y
i mean i would love to just because of the kindest of my heart
@9HYZGQ3Progressive2yrs2Y
Yes, I believe increasing taxes will not impact the lives and economic stability of millionaires. As a U.S citizen and millionaire it should be required to support others via paying more public welfare. Without an increase in support, many Americans and problems arise, creating a depleting society.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How effective do you think it is to provide government-funded job training for unemployed workers instead of direct financial aid?
@9HDQRDD2yrs2Y
People must learn how to get a job and maintain it rather than leeching off federal funding.
@9HDQQRP2yrs2Y
i think that it is important to produce government-funded job training so people know exactly what to do for their jobs.
@9HDTSDS2yrs2Y
I don't know enough about the topic to have a stance.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If your access to better schools depended on your parents' income, how might your view of 'equality of opportunity' change?
@9HLFSHT2yrs2Y
If your parents make low money and it takes your child to a school with less opportunity and less learning, this would change what equality truly means. school systems aren't developed to determine where children are meant to be based on their social class. This is part of discrimination but towards their working class. a child parents income isn't who they define in their education.
@9HLWTYS2yrs2Y
I am not too positive on how to answer this question.
@9HLFMRX2yrs2Y
food safety laws, and increased political rights for women and U.S. workers.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you describe fairness in a society where the cost of living continues to rise disproportionately to income?
@9HFYVGN2yrs2Y
i belive that the cost of a living income can change
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What would fairness in accessing technology mean for students in different socio-economic backgrounds?
@9HZCB3Q2yrs2Y
mean more kids have access to equipment that can help their educational journey and benefit them.
@9HZC2Y9CA Common Sense2yrs2Y
They should all recieve a device from their school or college and whether they accept it and use the provided device is up to them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel when you hear about tax havens and the wealthy not paying their fair share of taxes?
@9HP2LF62yrs2Y
I feel like it's fair to people who are struggling to make money these days then they have to pay taxes will the rich just sit and do not have to work as much and then refuse to pay taxes
I think the wealthy should pay their fair share of taxes because some people cannot afford to pay taxes, and if they’re paying more than the rich then our system isn’t fair.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you feel if your hard-earned money was taxed more heavily to help strangers in need?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If a small group controls most wealth, does that limit opportunities for everyone else?
@9H7JFV62yrs2Y
I think so because not everyone has money for pay.
@9H7JF2CRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes, it gives people less opportunities because that small group that controls wealth will keep that money to themselves and not think about other wealth classes and issues.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs
If a business succeeds because of its workers, is it fair for the owner to receive the majority of the profit?
