These totalitarian progressives are destroying any chance of America having another Steve Jobs.  Progressivism is economically toxic because all progressives love to intervene.  Freedom makes up 99.999% of social justice.  Progressives intervene in your vision of how you chose to live your life.   Progressivism destroys economic genius and innovation.  What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving.  This is progressivism distilled - a blissful and easily manipulated premise that government-run charity programs will take care of everyone.  Basically, the far-Left is built on the shoulders of useful idiots.  No one with a brain likes these totalitarian progressives who intervene.  Progressives intervene in everything!  Progressives just love spending tax money taken from you, and calling it "humanitarian" (Bombing Libya) or "compassion" (Creating Obamacare).  How many new jobs have been created in this progressive era?  Years ago there were 130 million jobs in North America and there are about 130 million today.  Government intervention is at the root of this disaster.  Obama is a progressive who loves to intervene - ie. Obamacare & Libya.  Bush was a progressive who loved to intervene - ie. Community Reinvestment Act & Iraq.   You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity any more than government can intervene everywhere every time in North America, much less the world.  Government intervention creates economic stagnation.  The government cannot give anybody anything that government does not first take from somebody else.  Massive governmental interventions (Bush & Obama) have slowed economic growth.  Progressivism always leads to stagnation and more debt.  Total debt to GDP has exploded to over 350% with federal debt going from 57% of GDP to nearly 100% today.  Why encourage government interventions which create problems?  Why not constrain progressivism and expand economic growth?  Foreign and domestic progressivism creates stagnation because massive government interventions do not work.  You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
