In the Types Of Economies That Work wars of the early 1900s, Marx kept pointing out the end result of capitalism will be the rich few controlling most of the wealth. It's only natural after all, the profit flows to the owners, not the workers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_stratification#Karl_Marx

We do the same thing today. Everybody knows you're a rube if you're just working—that's why there's Founder Mania around here. Get your fake 60% ownership, hire people to create value under you, capture most of the profit/exit yourself.

Congrats on including actual charts (and some infographics too). Much nicer than just another "X is happening. Oh noes!" perspective.
