Perhaps I'm focusing on the "9.9%" aspect in terms of salary, but many tech folks I know are there and certainly not the ones "cutting the runs off the ladder" nor do they support many of these policies. In fact, many are from lower classes and it's unfair to blame them for the real elites failings.
