The entitlement is off the charts. People have completely lost perspective on how money is made and where they fit into the money making machine.

Maybe? Or maybe you have lost perspective on what purpose money actually serves and whether a model that hyper prioritizes it over the well being of people might not be the best approach.

Counter-point: The money-making machine exists to serve people, not the other way around.

Corporation works to maximize benefit for shareholders at the expense of its employees: "What do you expect, this is capitalism working as intended."

Employee works to maximize benefit for themselves at the expense of their employer: "Ugh, what entitlement."

Corporations have brought most of us ridiculous amounts of prosperity.

They generated the wealth that people paid taxes from to fund those things. You think any of that stuff is free?

Are you under the impression that taxes and came after capitalism?
