Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers.

Does anyone else find it ironic that a group of people who call themselves “progressive” are so regressive? In the latest example of progressive luddites, lets look at a statement from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez not only that people forgo a piece of modern technology, but that the American people, through the federal government, pay to facilitate it.
