A progressive to me is a teddy or a Franklin. One who puts the country first and knows trickle down doesn't work and isn't bought and paid for.

Lowering taxes on business is just one part of it Tony.
And the Roosevelt's didn't even know that "trickle down" existed, and we don't know if they were bought and paid for or not. But I'd say they were not...they were filthy rich like Romney is and were a lot harder to buy off.
But that isn't the definition of progressive:
"Progressives' main objective is to change the status quo. If the country is isolationist, they are expansionists; if the country's economy is industrial, they favor a return to agrarianism. They favor small government in a time of big government programs and government intervention in big money-markets. They are not revolutionaries because they believe in American democracy and the responsibility of government to address the needs of its citizens."
Sounds to me like you need to be thinking about voting for Gary Johnson. Otherwise you aren't being "progressive" at all. Just hard left liberal.
EDIT: By the way...I did love Romney's "Trickle Down Govt." line. That is exactly how Obama sees the world.
