But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a feudal society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the revolution.

    The thing about us businesspeople is that we love our customers rich and our employees poor.

A great quote.

A friend of mine that consults for large corporations said to me the other day that it's strange that the first employees of a business consider their share of revenue as profit, but as the company gets larger, the employees' share becomes seen as a cost.
