Corporations making more than they ever have, and workers making less than ever.

Guess things aren't as bad as they seem for corporations, or what we've heard from the Republicans. What doesn't seem to be a concern? Lower and lower wages:

Think Progress: A constant conservative charge against President Obama is that he is inherently anti-business. In the third quarter of this year, “corporate earnings were $1.75 trillion, up 18.6% from a year ago.”

Corporations are currently making more as a percentage of the economy than they ever have since such records were kept. But at the same time, wages as a percentage of the economy are at an all-time low, as this chart shows. (The red line is corporate profits; the blue line is private sector wages.):

Corporations made a record $824 billion in profits last year as well, while the stock market has had one of its best performances since 1900 while Obama has been in office.

Meanwhile, workers are getting the short end of the stick. As CNN Money explained, “a separate government reading shows that total wages have now fallen to a record low of 43.5% of GDP. Until 1975, wages almost always accounted for at least half of GDP, and had been as high as 49% as recently as early 2001.”
