    I'd have to disagree with you here. This graph shows Capitalism isn't broken. Since the goal of capitalism it to maximize profit it's fairly successful. I'd argue, in fact, the USA continues increasing look like an unfettered capitalist society will. .. Equalization that's some Commie talk!

    But the owners are the share holders. The CEO is a mere employee, and yet look at how CEOs are sucking at the profits.

    Share holders? ~1% of the world owns 40%. These share holders hold more than their share. Capitalism's job is to filter wealth to the rich so it's working.
