Centimillionaires and billionaires, rather than creators of value, are varying degrees of exploitative extractive from consumers and capturing of value rather than paying workers fairly. 60 years ago, companies offered workers stability and defined benefits retirement plan, less political influence, and reasonable CEO:worker pay ratios. This isn't sustainable because the country club Tea Party WASPs are running the asylum by turning a former superpower into a third-world country pariah.
