In 20 years, what we today think of a "normal" job will virtually cease to exist.  Automation and AI will make most blue collar, and a fair amount of professional work by humans obsolete.  For those that do still have jobs, traditional employment as we know it, where people make a living wage and have some type of benefits (like health insurance, and some kind of employer match for their 401-K) will also be gone, replaced by the "shared economy" where people are basically hired as self employed contractors with no benefits.  There will still be rich people - those who own the companies will be fabulously wealthy.  What will that world be like for those who are now middle class?  The wealthy will make sure that they aren't paying enough taxes on their fabulous wealth to provide a social safety net.  If you get sick, and can't pay for medical care or (super expensive) drugs you will die.  If you can't eke out a pittance you will starve.  This is the future Ryan is laboring to bring us.
