What major contributions to American society have Conservatives made? - Godless Sodomite - 11-18-2012 01:05 PM
Minimum wage - brought by progressives.
End of slavery - brought by progressive republicans
civil rights - progressives.
equal voting rights for women - progressives
u.s. involvement in world war 2 and world war one - progressives
social security - progressives
medicare - progressive
FDA - progressives
income tax - progressives
Most of these things are viewed positively by the majority of Americans and we all brought by progressives. Conservatism, in my opinion, can be credited for defeating the Soviet Union, protection of the second amendment, and retaining a relatively free market, but not much else.

You see income tax as an accomplishment? It's not even legal as it was never ratified by all the states and it was supposed to end with WWI...

lol.......
You failed to mention that progressives also helped create the Federal Reserve. Which has systematically devalued the dollar for nearly 100 years all while raping the working class for the benefit of the banking class.
Ironically, most of those programs (SS, Medicare etc.) couldn't exist without the ability to print money out of thin air. I mean Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid have over $30 trillion in unfunded liabilities. The income tax ain't gonna cover that....

Wow.
You really need to... lift your head out of the liberal toilet bowl. Its sucking out your ability to think for yourself.
Ultimately if progressives had their way, the U.S. would never exist. In looking at your examples, I guess we need to see your definition of a progressive. Seems you might be a bit confused.

Jobs. Work ethic. Individual responsibility. Self reliance.
The major contributions of Progressives (a misnomer if ever there was one) are:
Creation of an expanding class of societal parasites.
Destruction of education.
Theft of private property (income tax).
The list is too long to type. I just hit on some of the high spots for Progressive contributions.
Social security is not an accomplishment nor is Medicare or the income tax. And the minimum wage is a joke. Raising wages drives inflation. In the end, a zero sum effect.
