(a) corporations make massively disproproportionate wealth relative to employees...

Depends on the corporation. Walmart only makes about $10,700/employee in profit, for example (about $6/hour if all employees work 35 hours). Since walmart typically pays $10-12/hour at minimum, employees are capturing about 2/3 of the value they create.

Of course, the numbers will be wildly different at a software company. Most programmers don't capture anything like 2/3 of their created value.
