My point is that the decline of the US middle class is largely the result of domestic wealth distribution choices. And wealth distribution is measured within an economy, not by comparing wages between countries..

And we're debating different worlds if your baseline is shareholder primacy.. While my baseline is a democratic society where corporations are tools to organize people to deliver value to society, and owing obligations to that society, not a mechanism to siphon wealth from the bottom to the top.
