I agree 100% that the growing divide between winners in the information economy and losers is a major source of societal ills.
We should address it by making the lives of blue collar workers better (higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, high density housing), not by making the lives of white collar workers worse.

The people who would have to make the sacrifice are the capital holders and high tax payers - they certainly don't want to do this (in aggregate of course - even if some individuals would choose such a sacrifice).
