#4 This indicates that corporations are doing very well. This does not equate with American society doing very well. If you consider these numbers, plus the unpaid taxes due, either thru manipulations of balnce sheets and/or the relocation of named headquarters offshore, you can grasp that the power is becoming highly concentrated here. No wonder there is plenty of cash to buy Congress, state Governors, state Legislatures, local Mayors, etc. Best goevernment money can buy. Somewhat explains why there is total disregard for national borders.

#5 SOP sounds like something out of the pages of a hundred years ago with robber barons. Most corporations today are held by institutional funds = like pension funds, like union funds, like university endowment funds, like state and local government investment funds. Instead of JP Morgan calling up his Senators and telling them what to do or how to vote, today we have an industry of lobbyists who negotiate. That is at least some progress.
