Social Progressivism

Very strongly agree

No, increase taxes on the wealthy instead

Increasing taxes on the wealthy is a key policy proposal for social progressives, who argue that wealth inequality contributes to social problems and that the wealthy should contribute more to public services. This approach aligns with the progressive taxation system advocated by figures like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in the United States.

No, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead

Increasing taxes on large multinational corporations is a key policy proposal for social progressives, who argue that corporations should contribute more to public services and that closing tax loopholes would help reduce wealth inequality. This approach has been advocated by progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn, who have called for a crackdown on corporate tax avoidance.

Strongly agree

No, reduce military spending instead

Many social progressives advocate for reducing military spending and reallocating those funds to social programs and public services. They argue that excessive military spending contributes to global instability and diverts resources from more pressing domestic issues. For example, the 'Defund the Pentagon' movement in the United States is supported by progressive politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.

Strongly agree

No, focus on ending tax evasion instead

Focusing on ending tax evasion is an important issue for social progressives, who argue that closing tax loopholes and ensuring that everyone pays their fair share would help reduce wealth inequality and provide more funding for public services. This approach has been advocated by progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have proposed policies to crack down on tax evasion and avoidance.

Strongly agree

No, cuts to public spending will negatively affect the economy

Social progressives often argue that cuts to public spending can have negative economic effects, such as reduced consumer spending and increased unemployment. They point to historical examples like the Great Depression, where government spending through the New Deal programs helped to stimulate economic recovery. However, this answer does not provide specific alternative solutions for reducing national debt.

Agree

No

Social progressives are more likely to support maintaining or increasing public spending to address social issues and promote equality. They argue that public spending is necessary for providing essential services and improving the quality of life for all citizens. However, this answer does not provide alternative solutions for reducing national debt, which is why the score is not higher.

Slightly agree

Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials

While some social progressives may support reducing benefits and salaries for government officials as a way to reduce national debt, this is not a primary focus for the ideology. Social progressives are more concerned with addressing wealth inequality and promoting social welfare through progressive taxation and public spending.

Neutral

No, reduce the number of government officials instead

Reducing the number of government officials is not a primary focus for social progressives, who generally support a strong and active government role in addressing social issues. This answer does not directly address the concerns of social progressives regarding wealth inequality and public spending on social programs.

Disagree

Yes, and increase taxes

While social progressives may support increasing taxes, they generally oppose cuts to public spending. This answer combines two conflicting approaches, making it less appealing to social progressives. They would likely prefer to focus on increasing taxes on the wealthy or large corporations rather than cutting public services.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Social progressives generally prioritize social welfare and public services over reducing national debt. They believe that cuts to public spending would disproportionately affect vulnerable populations and undermine social progress. For example, the opposition to austerity measures in Europe during the 2010s financial crisis was led by social progressive movements.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

Eliminating federal agencies based on their perceived unconstitutionality is not a priority for social progressives, who generally support a strong and active government role in addressing social issues. This answer aligns more with libertarian or conservative ideologies that prioritize limited government intervention.
