I didn't quite get that out of it. They did point out that Progressive policies are a major part of what ails Silicon Valley and the US in general.

The economy is changing. Money is shifting away from labor and towards capital ownership. The best way for the average Joe to deal with this is to own capital, capital in the form of stocks. The old "save 10% of your income" rule just doesn't get it. These days it's more like 25%.

The majority of the shift is due to Gov't policy, and I don't mean a lack of taxation. Mostly, it's regulation that is killing the middle class. For instance, how can we compete with countries like China that are enveloped in a fog of smoke from production when we can't even have a Sriracha hot sauce plant? Until that changes, we are doomed.
