Why capitalism must be permanently regulated, corporations must be kept small and tame, and personal income and wealth must be constantly adjusted by taxation of both to finance public guarantees of the necessities of a decent life for all.
All of this to be done by a government big enough and strong enough to do the job.
All as true today as at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Why the self-advertised mission of the American conservative movement is to roll back and eliminate every trace of progressivism from American government and American life.
To make government small enough to "drown it in a bathtub."
C&L
What conservatives call "economic liberty" progressives call "enslavement of the people by the great corporations."
