Give me three examples of progressive policies and I will show you where we lost our freedoms.

Women's suffrage. Trust busting by Taft. Child labor laws.

All those were progressive policies. I'm interested to see how repressing women's rights, working children with no voice and a lack of competition by businesses are freedoms.

Personally, we could use a bit more of that these days. More competitive business field, clearer voting rules, student loan reform, campaign reform. All those are currently among considered progressive policies.
