More blaming of the Internet for something that's been in progress since the 1970s.

We shifted from progressive to regressive (e.g. sales and employment) taxes, cut taxes on the top 1%, and moved toward a financial and service economy.

If you look at the internet and other modern technical achievements as a world wide phenomenon. Global gdp growth has been humming along at 4-5% since the 1950s.
