Corporate Profits are at an all time high of 10.5% of GDP - tripling from 3.5% of GDP in 1985.

Many, many economists and other commentators have called this as "the death of the Middle Class".

No surprise as Americans earning less than $465,000 annually have seen their share of GDP decline and their incomes have declined in real terms.

Now that corporate profits are declining as wage earners take home a larger share of GDP —— some like yourself are calling the potential rebirth of the Middle Class a horrific recession, because, in your view, no nation can thrive unless corporations take an ever larger share of GDP.

Warren Buffet, noted for making billions using common sense, has commented on this trend at each of his annual meetings. He says it's obvious that this trend is unsustainable and at some point, apparently now, the percentage of GDP received by corporations will decline as the percentage of GDP received by working Americans will rise.
