. Two points, sorry I was actually defining JJ and stupid iphone had me quoting you twice, I wasnt defining you as regressive. Second to the definition and political connotation progressive tends to denote moving foward not back, so if Trump decides to do something new say level the tax code Id call that progressive, but leveling it alone is not inherently progressive, just our tax code is badly regressive for the middle class. Getting rid of tax shelters and loophole would help level it.
Finally as far as you go, I think of you as more a pragmatist and intellectual instigator :) Somettimes on both sides of the spectrum in the same subject... We called you flaming moderates for whats its worth, poltically speaking an endangered species.
