The fat cats are taking most all the profit while paying crumbs to employees. The ratio gap from CEO to employee has exploded, and to boot the rich keep having their tax burden lowered.
People like the WalMart CEOs would still be filthy rich with 1/5 of their fortunes and then WalMart employees could be paid a livable wage.
