You don't prove a point by bleating out some magic words that you think answers all questions. Your theory that profits "come from a workforce and markets for the products" is impossibly vague and meaningless in this context. Your claim amounts to saying the workers are defrauded or cheated in some fashion."All great wealth come from taking advantage of the work force and the market. IOW, from taking advantage of people."Are governments just protection rackets for the 1%?
Our political systems, regardless of who is elected or in power, have become tools of our oligarchs and are designed to insure that they retain their wealth. We are in fact and in reality ruled by our various oligarchs.
Do you recognize that fact?

Why shouldn't they retain their wealth? Do you believe the mob should be allowed to loot them?
Following those links and educating yourself would have been a good starting position for you to understand the fact that you are a slave to an oligarch.
To your reply.
All great wealth come from taking advantage of the work force and the market. IOW, from taking advantage of people.
It is not a matter of redistribution from above to below. It is more of a matter of the filthy rich looking to the poor and paying their fair share.
There is a graph in the O.P. If you cannot see how it shows how immoral the socio economic demographic pyramid is, then you do not know how to read one.
Go back and educate yourself, please.

Who did Henry Ford take advantage of? Steve Jobs? Jeff Bezos?
Labor and the market. Do you know anything about how an economy and business works?
If profits do not come from a workforce and markets for the products, where do you think it comes from?

So how are they cheated? Did their employer lie to them about what they would be paid? Where does the fraud come in?
Who said anything about fraud or cheating someone?
If not from taking advantage of the labor force who make the product, and taking advantage of the market/buyers, how else is great wealth gained?
Taking advantage of those two groups is not cheating or fraud. We call it good business.
It seems we are not looking at "taking advantage" the same way. You see it as a negative while I and the economy see it as a positive that must happen if the economy is to work.
How would you create wealth for yourself if not taking advantage of labor and the market place? I know of not other legal source.
