[QUOTE="SolidWoodPanel, post: 3403273, member: 68397"] Progressivism is not the modern liberal ethos. Pay scale in this country be damned. I said what I said earlier about capping income for the top 10-5-1% because at that point you've taken care of yourself and a generation or two or three of your ancestors. From a political perspective, we have, from my point of view, a terrible problem in this country in the fact that we have two parties, and this is a tremendous amount of ill will and blatantly careless hatred of the other side and even from within parties. If you've ever read the Federalist Papers by James Madison, he warned that this would be the destruction of our democracy. We are at an almost severe splintering point where we cannot compromise and the future of the country won't be dictated by a majority or electoral majority but a small percentage (under 40%). At that point, we (the commoners) will suffer tremendously, and it will only add to the divisism promoted today [/QUOTE]
