...and the individual shareholder has been left out in the cold while they have feathered their nests and raided the corporations.

No, the indivuduals are free to succeed on the open market as capitalists or whatever and become responsible for their own success and quit whining like a one-year old. Companies are in business to make money; not coddle its employees. They can work elsewhere if they don't like it.

You obviously did comprehend my post. I said nothing about workers, for G-d's sake!

I am talking about the individuals who have been free to succeed --- and have done exactly that --- and have been imminently successful --- and have been 100% responsible for their own success --- and are not whining like a one-year old.

You must not own shares in anything. If you did, you would have understood my post.

Read my post again. It relates entirely to shareholders in corporations --- the people who are actually supposed to OWN the corporation --- thanks to their hard work elsewhere --- who have then invested their wealth [rather than squandering it] and are being shafted by management of corporations they OWN.

Yes, indeed, companies are in business to make money --- and, they are supposed to distribute a reasonable amount of it to their shareholders. The average return on shares was [last time I looked] a little over 1%. Do you consider that a reasonable return on investment? Or, would you prefer to see 100% of a company's profits go to a handful of executives?
