The article practically opened with it. Did you read it?

Yeah. Twice now, just to make sure I wasn't missing something.

Nowhere is it even remotely implied that the market only benefits the ultra-rich and CEOs.

Fifth paragraph (and nodesocket said "rich to stay rich", not just ultra-rich and ceos):

Because the wealthiest 10% of U.S. households own 84% of American-held shares, the obsession with maximizing shareholder returns effectively means America’s biggest companies have dedicated themselves to making the rich even richer.

That statement is pointing out the existence of a feedback loop in need of dampening. It's not saying the market needs to go away, or that it only benefits a minority.

To imply it's a cry that the game was designed to be rigged is a straw-man.

Got it, so you're one of those "nowhere does it state precisely what I've typed, so you're wrong. Ignore the statement that is essentially saying the same thing" literalists.

Please don't stoop to personal attack, even when another comment is annoying.
