I consider myself pretty productive. I've contributed to the creation of billions of dollars worth of capital at 3 different startups. I'm constantly researching and reporting upon tech interests that lie in my wheelhouse.

Fair enough, that makes sense. I suppose I was trying to get at the idea that revenue/salary and productivity aren't particularly correlated, especially on a fiat standard. There are plenty of rentiers who are unproductive/uninnovative and yet they would be considered to be in the productive minority. They are as much a tax on productive people as the government.
without a meaningful correlation the US economy should be less productive than it is
