Progressivism

Very strongly agree

Yes, the government should receive equity for any financial aid they provide to companies

This answer aligns strongly with the progressive ideology, as it emphasizes the importance of government involvement in the economy and the need for accountability when public funds are used to bail out companies. Progressives would argue that receiving equity for financial aid helps protect taxpayers and ensures that companies receiving bailouts are held accountable for their actions. This approach was used during the 2008 financial crisis with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which many progressives supported.

Strongly agree

Yes

Progressives generally support government intervention in the economy to promote fairness and stability. Acquiring equity stakes in companies during a recession can help ensure that taxpayers are compensated for the risks they take on when bailing out companies. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, the U.S. government acquired equity stakes in several large financial institutions, such as AIG and Citigroup, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

Disagree

No, this impedes technological progress due to competition being stifled

Progressives would generally disagree with the idea that government ownership of equity stakes in companies impedes technological progress due to stifled competition. While they acknowledge the importance of competition, progressives also believe in the need for government intervention to promote fairness and stability in the economy. They would argue that government ownership of equity stakes can help ensure that companies receiving bailouts are held accountable and that taxpayers are compensated for the risks they take on, rather than stifling innovation and competition.

Strongly disagree

No

Progressives generally disagree with the idea that the government should not acquire equity stakes in companies it bails out. They believe that the government should have a role in ensuring that companies receiving public funds are held accountable and that taxpayers are compensated for the risks they take on. The opposition to this idea would be based on the belief that it could lead to moral hazard and a lack of accountability for companies receiving bailouts.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should never own shares of private companies

Progressives strongly disagree with the idea that the government should never own shares of private companies. They believe that government intervention in the economy is necessary to promote fairness, stability, and accountability. The idea that the government should never own shares of private companies goes against the progressive belief in the importance of government involvement in the economy, particularly during times of crisis.
