This ideology so eloquently described in this article, is based on many falsehoods that was the underlying basis of the Soviet Union. Take it from a Cuban living in Miami (and proud US citizen), it only leads to misery, death and destruction. It is based on lies and fallacies.

Very interesting piece. I'm someone who would identify as "progressive" (although it's a term loaded with a lot of baggage that I cannot defend), but I am becoming increasingly wary of ideologues who identify similarly. My question is how you propose balancing being pro-business with being pro-worker? Economic policy in this country has moved ever to the right over the past 50 years and that's done wonders to undo the massive gains of the mid-20th century.
It seems the US is intent on extremes, while other places have proven you can have a functional society with businesses growing and middle and lower income people having comfortable lives with opportunity for more. It is hard to swallow calls to be more "pro-business" when being pro-business got us in this mess.
Surely there is a fair, compassionate way to balance economic growth with the economic rights of average people.

Phenominal!
So many Chicagoans are tired of progressives running the city into the ground. I'd love to have you on my podcast to talk more about your article!
