I may have made a leap with that statement, but if you look under "Why Is the U.S. So Much Richer?", he practically lists out the entire Republican platform as corollaries from this one point. Given his unabashed political agenda and the overall point he's trying to make here, it's not a huge jump to assume that he sees the problem of poverty in America as overstated, self-inflicted, and generally not worth making a coordinated public effort to solve beyond proselytizing his personal lifestyle choices including reversing "changing attitudes toward sex [and] marital fidelity" (???).
