We've seen this sort of talk from several members of the boards around here as of late, and I always find it interesting. People that have been railing against progressive policies don't realize, IMO, that we have never actually seen progressive policies at work in this country. Any progressive policy that has been enacted has been watered down in the political process, often times to the point where it is but a shadow of its former self and unable to actually operate the way it is supposed to work.
