Well, one a goal of Abenomics - a shift toward shareholder capitalism - is certainly bearing fruit. What Abe didn't count on was the corporations would hoard their profits instead of giving raises in line earnings growth. Raises are part of the old-school business model.

Welcome to capitalism in the 21st century. A race to the top for the 1%. A race to the bottom for the rest of us. Gee, and people wonder why things like Brexit happen.

And now we will hear something along the lines of,.... ok we had a good year BUT we must see if this is ""sustainable"" before we can consider even minimal wage increases.

This BS has been going on for over 30yrs now WORLDWIDE, during that time the rich have vacuumed up an obscene amount of wealth & they think they have earned it.................

There needs to be a serious re-think as the masses are not going to take this &%^&^ for much longer without it getting NASTY!!

1%ers YOU have been warned!

This is exactly what Abe was counting on.
