Article 1 Section 8.:

The Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries . . .

Real progressives believe in progress of, by, and for society.

Ersatz “Progressives” believe in progress of, by, and for government.

“Society” and “government” are two different things, as Thomas Paine already had to point out in 1776.
