Without the workers the business has no investments or profits so excluding them from the equation is absurd.
I never said you could do without workers. They are essential. Every business needs capital, management and labor.
But only the capital investors pay for technology improvements which are driving productivity increases today. Labor never invests in technology.
Technology investment is what drove productivity improvement up beginning in about 1995.
A typical example is the millions of office workers in this country. Business invested heavily in office technology beginning twenty to thirty years ago and it has paid off handsomely. An office worker today can produce many times as much as an office worker in the 1980s.
If you think Occupy was the end of the Movement your in for a rude surprise.
I think the Occupy movement was a bunch of uneducated, young "adults" trying to reconcile their lifelong entitlement mentalities with the idea of getting a real job at average wages and working hard for what they want in life.
The issue, though, is that it used to be different, and within the lifetimes of some of us. The level of economic injustice today is unprecedented since the United States became a superpower.
That's plain false. Since 1913, wealth distribution has widened. At the turn of the century they held more. Over the past 100 years there have been peaks and valleys. The last 10 years have seen the gap narrow. The overall trend is opposite.

The whole reason we're in such a bind now is because of risky trading and greedy players.
What happened during the Bailout was highway robbery.

we need to get serious, and address the real problem here. you linked to "thinkprogress." now that we've rooted out the problem, we can consider getting serious.
Top 1 percent pay 40% of taxes and top 10% pay 70% of taxes.
MERICA!
