Regressive = opposing progress, returning to a former, less advanced state

Well gee, that fits nicely.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Well gee, that fits nicely.

then put your hand down, stop demanding welfare and get a fucking job

That's the technical definition yes.

Unfortunately it doesn't describe the current US political left who claims the term in any way shape form or fashion.

Jesus Stupid Christ on a cracker...



This is as painfully stupid as Throb's contention that anything other than a "Progressive" income tax is a "Regressive" income tax as if Progressive was and actual economic term.

Just because any political idea is not a "Progressive" (which is actually the American form of Fabian Socialism) does not automatically make it either regressive or a step backwards.

Now have fun looking fucking ignorant...

I'll leave you to the Left-wing circle jerk that you so seem to love and thrive in.

It's not for the left. It's for the right.

Speaking of looking "fucking ignorant", let's see what your favorite bogeyman, the Internal Revenue Service, has to say about progressive income taxes...

A progressive tax takes a larger percentage of income from high-income groups than from low-income groups and is based on the concept of ability to pay. A progressive tax system might, for example, tax low-income taxpayers at 10 percent, middle-income taxpayers at 15 percent and high-income taxpayers at 30 percent. The U.S. federal income tax is based on the progressive tax system.

Once again you bring great shame upon yourself, your family name, your tribe, the United States Marine Corps and good ole Sensei K.
As always, I provide a LINK to back up my assertions.

It's not for the left. It's for the right.

You mean like when the right sold our HC reforms out to the insurance companies?

Or backed Monsanto making them bulletproof without consequences do whatever they want destroy as many lives as they want with total impunity evil megacorp?

Or maybe it was the right who insist that we oppress all non superich people from improving their economic lot in life by 'regulating' them right out of the opportunity for the highest paying campaign contributors?

Sorry, but the left as much as I love their do-gooder shit is so full of hypocritical ass hats at the leadership level (supported by dumbass lemmings) they simply don't get to claim moral superiority anymore.

The American left and right have gone full on scum bag. There is no left or right in the US anymore. That's all a dog and pony show.

There is the ultra rich, the political class, the bureaucratic class and the peasantry.

If you still think there is a left and right in the US you're probably a peasant.
