We need to emphasize high talent, high IP skills.

Not gonna happen. At a random guess I think you need to have at least a 120 IQ to be able to design and code. Below that, it's an "html programmer" :-P

And that's only 10 to 20% of the population.

There has to be jobs for the other 80%.

Of course liberals will never blame the welfare state for that; they’ll say that capitalism failed and resulted in 50% unemployment.
