I have a feeling that this some kind of trap.... But I will gladly offer my opinion:



The concept of progressive taxation is collectivist and statist in nature, but without more detail on the extent of taxation, I could not point to a specific ideology.



Redistribution of wealth is also part of a collectivist and statist ideology but I would need more specifics, like the extent of the redistribution, to cite which one.



This one is simply too vague... You might raise user fees on government services for a myraid of reasons.



The term "traditional Christian policies" is too vague to be left undefined. Are they pursuing Anti-Theist policies to abolish religion? Are they simply not pushing a theocratic agenda?



In what way and for what purpose?




Since the details were broad, I can only offer characteristics of the ideological bent of this individual:


Collectivist and Statist. Those ideological characteristics are simply to broad to give us specific details about the individuals political ideology.


All ideologies fall in to one of two basic categories in their broadest terms, Collectivism and Individualism. Within those two categories are sub categories that are able to be recognized as specific ideologies and within those ideologies are further sub-sets of ideology.


To fully understand the political ideology of someone else, or even yourself, you need to know four philosophical basics: Metaphysics, your understanding of reality and existence; Epistemology, your understanding of the aquisition and limits of knowledge; Ethics, your goals and values; Politics, how these previous three combine in a social context.
