Yes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education

This answer embodies the core principles of economic progressivism by advocating for increased taxes on the wealthy to fund public goods, in this case, free college education.

Strongly agree

Yes

Economic progressivism generally supports redistributive tax policies to fund social services and reduce economic inequality. Increasing taxes on the rich to reduce student loan interest rates aligns with this ideology's emphasis on education accessibility and fairness. However, it might not go as far as some progressives would like in addressing the root issues of college affordability and student debt.

Strongly agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally supports redistributive policies, including higher taxes on the wealthy to fund public services. However, the ideology does not necessarily tie these taxes directly to specific programs like student loan interest rate reduction, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree

No, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans

While Economic Progressivism would agree with reducing interest rates for student loans, they would likely disagree with the notion of not increasing taxes on the rich to achieve this. Therefore, they would somewhat agree with this statement, but not fully due to the lack of wealth redistribution.

Agree

No, but we should still reduce interest rates for student loans

While economic progressivism supports reducing student loan interest rates to make education more accessible, this answer's lack of a funding mechanism (such as taxing the rich) makes it less aligned with the ideology's principles. It addresses the symptom (high interest rates) without tackling the underlying issue of education funding and wealth inequality.

Very strongly disagree

No

Economic progressivism is fundamentally opposed to policies that maintain or exacerbate wealth inequality without providing significant social benefits. Not increasing taxes on the rich to fund reductions in student loan interest rates would be seen as maintaining a status quo that benefits the wealthy at the expense of broader educational accessibility.

No, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts

Economic Progressivism generally supports public management of essential services, including education. Privatizing student loans would likely be seen as a move away from this principle, hence they would strongly disagree with this statement.

Very strongly disagree

No, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts

Privatization of student loans is antithetical to economic progressivism, which advocates for increased government intervention in markets to promote social welfare, especially in education. Transitioning government student loans into privately managed accounts would likely increase costs for students, contradicting progressive goals of reducing economic barriers to education.
