It's not the market that's eating the "surplus". Economic inequality is at an all time high. Big corporations are posting record-busting profits. Inflation is driven by greedflation, mostly.

Corporations aren't natural persons. You have to look a the in/equity of the wealth of the people who enjoy the corporation's money.

Did you think I was claiming the corporations themselves were hoarding the wealth? Did it not occur to you that I was referring to the corporations as the tools of the shareholders? Do I really have to be that explicit and include misquotation alerts for every possible idiot?
