I just gave Wal-Mart as an example and they are the who would benefit the most from iworkers pay. Most of the 500 companies would have anything close.
Retail typically has a low profit margin and relies on volume to make its money.

The thriving little town got converted to a bunch of shuttered business locations and a few blocks away, a new Walmart. The small operators (bookstores, clothing stores, electronics stores, drug stores, restaurants, etc.) were all gone two years after the arrival of Walmart. Their employees and owners began turning up at Walmart as greeters and cash register operators and stockers. People rail against Communism because they don't accept the mediocrity of one size fits all production, then their town leaders decide to let Walmart be the "decider" of what will be available in the town.
The problem is that there is NO WAY BACK TO A HEALTHY ECONOMY. NO WAY TO START A NEW BUSINESS IN THE FACE OF THIS SUBSIDIZED COMPEITION. In my estimation, Walmart is a commercial disease that affects many locations nationwide and impoverishes our society.
Huge corporations pretty much all use as much of the Walmart model as they can get away with, so yes, Colorado atheist is right on that score, but is it good for our society?

So when the consumers in the town wanted to buy things, they went to Wal-Mart instead of those other shops? So why wouldn't you say the consumers made the difference?
Stocks of more than 60 major companies can be purchased, commission-free, for as little as $10 at Loyal3.

Interesting site. I bookmarked it to take a closer look at it later.
They have that damn thing many sites are doing now where the scroll bar disappears after a second and you must re-move the pointer to the bar to bring it back. I find that extremely annoying and makes me not want to use any site that does it. Frankly, it pisses me off.
you have yet to offer a clear and concise rationale as to why companies paying out cash they make to investors is a problem in any way.

What about cash they borrow?

You're right, no coherent explanation for that being a problem either.

It strikes me as unsustainable in the long term.
I believe you hold the same opinion, at least when it comes to sovereigns.
