What is a progressive? What does progressivism stand for?

What are progressive values? What do they stand for? What’s their vision for moving the country forward? It wasn’t until recently that came to have a better understanding of what a progressive is. I searched the interwebs for clarification on the issue and wikipedia had a pretty decent answer: Progressivism historically advocates the advancement of workers’ rights and social justice. The progressives were early proponents of anti-trust laws and the regulation of large corporations and monopolies, as well as government-funded environmentalism and the creation of National Parks and Wildlife Refuges.Do you believe in workers rights?  Or do you think we should roll back the clock on these protections?  Does the American Dream include the workers?
