A Progressive is a forward-looking thinker who initiates programs and policies that benefit the greatest number of people and advance the public good. The progressive never uses a position of authority or power to benefit a narrow segment of society or advance policies that create hardship, inequity or burden on any members of society. The progressive respects differences in society and in individual motivation but is always guided by what is best for the commonweal. The progressive is guided by actionable desires to incrementally improve conditions in society.The progressive obeys just laws and seeks to change unjust ones. And, the progressive seeks to use economic and political power, not for its own sake, but for the benefit of society
