I agree. I just heard this [1] podcast about the Oneida company. It was one of the first companies to show that paying and treating the lowest-paid employees very well and being very profitable are not mutually exclusive.

Of course it's not--you just have to have leaders who don't want 100X what the average employee makes! It's about greed, it's always been about greed.

And it's so much worse than that, really. A lot of public companies are being strip-mined of their true wealth by the insiders. Pump the stock, gut the company, screw the investors.
