It's all the Illuminati, the Bilderbergs and/or the Rothschilds...
Sometimes? I wonder about this every day.
Of course, consciousness is impossible, so never happened..

Start that chart on Jan 1st, 2008 and it would show a very different picture. One where corporate profits are very volatile and hence demand a higher rate of return than wages, which are rock solid on the graph. You're comparing apples to oranges with the two, it's like saying muni's should be getting the same returns as tech stocks.
By the way, nothing's stopping you from starting a company and being part of the corporate profits side of that line. I did, and have profited from it far beyond what I could have if I'd stayed a salaried employee. However I took substantial risks and worked my ass off to get to that profit, neither of which would have been required if I'd stayed in a salaried job. With greater risks come greater reward. If you spent half the energy you spend bashing "the man" and dreaming up conspiracies building a company you'd be rich by now!

Swiss central bank steps up stock buying spree
"Switzerland's central bank now owns more publicly-traded shares in Facebook (FB.O) than Mark Zuckerberg, part of a mushrooming stock portfolio that is likely to grow yet further."

We're in the era of insanely stupid. It's guaranteed to blow up but from my standpoint, that's not even the worst part. The people responsible will successfully blame in on the private sector.

What do you think they should do with their reserves instead of buying stocks?
Stimulate their own economy: chocolate, fancy watches and put the rest in anonymous bank accounts.
