Worker rights - i like - im a worker Social Security and safety nets for the elderly - i like- i will be elderly soon. Medicare - i like. both my parents used this Medicaid - my adopted kids use this. support for education - i like- no sane person hates education minimum wage -i like -if you let free market set this it would be go too low imo. unemployment compensation - used it. affirmative action -no problem with this. sure some say it has stopped whites from getting a job they deserve. but if that happened it is rare. welfare- cousin was on welfare during a hard time in her life- back in the 70's - now she is an engineer in the aero space industry - maybe i'm a closet progressive?
