Our system punishes those brilliant and capable minds that can drive the nations economy. Meanwhile, underachievers everywhere can sleep peacefully.

This is a ridiculous statement. "Underachievers" (whatever the hell that means) certainly don't sleep any better for lack of an Ivy league education or salary from Google. I think most would agree that "our system" treats highly paid tech workers with elite educations pretty well, all things considered.
