“On issue after issue, the polls - and these are not snapshot polls; these are polls over a consistent period of time - show that most Americans share what one could call core liberal or progressive values: investment in health care and education over tax cuts; fair trade over free trade; corporate accountability over deregulation; environmental protection over laissez-faire policies; defending Social Security and Medicare over privatizing them; raising the minimum wage over eliminating it. The country prefers progressive alternatives to the failed policies of the conservative right.” CountryShowsCareValuesSocialIssuesCuttingShareSecurityPolicyHealthPeriodsTaxesFairsTradeInvestmentEnvironmentalConservativeProtectionCoreAlternativesHealth CareCorporateConsistentAccountabilityProgressiveMinimumSocial SecurityPollsMedicareMinimum WageTax CutsEliminatingFree TradeEnvironmental ProtectionLaissez FaireSnapshotsDeregulationFair Trade Author:Katrina vanden Heuvel
