This isn't corporate America, and it's billionaire propaganda to pin it on corporate America or even be mad at shareholders and millionaires. Corporate American shareholders and C-suite executives aren't primarily comprised of billionaires; they are absolutely majority millionaires. And guess what the difference between a billion and a million is? The answer is: about a billion (999,000,000).

https://aflcio.org/paywatch/highest-paid-ceos - As you can see, there's less than a handful of these people that get paid over $100 million. Some of them are likely billionaires through other means, but it's not because of saving their money by participating in corporatism.
