Progressive income tax

The more money you make, the higher taxes you pay.

Antonym: flat tax

We need to make taxation more progressive and raise taxes on the wealthy.

chemical process engineer

When you were 18, the university recruiters told you chemical engineering had "so much variety" and "so many opportunities!" Now, you're graduating 4 years later and have realized that your only two options include oil refining (making gasoline from crude oil) and plastics (making polyethylene from ethylene).

This is probably okay, because whatever you suffer in breathing in toluene all day wearing dark coverall FRC's in 95°F weather, you'll make up for with a 6-digit salary right out of school. You also find yourself with a strangely intimate understanding of how everything around you works, like swimming pools, HVAC, cars, plumbing... everything.

Snooty grad-school materials researcher: "So what are you doing after you graduate?"

You: "I'll be working for a (Exxon/Valero/TOTAL/Phillips66/Shell/Citgo/Lyondell/BP) refinery."

SNGSMR: "Oh, so you're *just* a chemical process engineer?"

You: *grabbing another beer, talking to someone else, driving home in your brand new car...*

Heart Progress

An annoying pedophilia group who gets butthurt when called fat. Compare them to Nazis and North Korea for maximum lulz.

Heart Progress is reason enough to bring back the Black Plague.

Progressive Republican

An imaginary being in the political world. This being is a man, a Republican, who has progressed the United States into a forward direction politically, economically and financially. Unfortunately, none are known to exist in the world.

-Did you hear man? We got a progressive Republican as our Governor.

-Yeah. Too bad they don't exist.

Progressivism

Commitment to the belief that every culture has value, except one's own.

Progressivism began to displace Liberalism as the defacto ideology of the Left, beginning in the 1970's.
