I agree - though would argue that the nouveau riche over the centuries have altered the organization so much that all of the levels above 'corporations' (including central banks) have been limied in a number of ways. Much of this destabilization bega, actually with the wealthiest money lenders and the Rothschilds, especially c. 1800 (if not c. 1300s with banking families). Not that the nouveau riche necessarily have equal power in this structure, but that they have similar influence in their spheres of trade. The old money supports them, especially at Deutsche Bank, Chase, Barclays, HSBC, Cyprus, and many other banks that are able to take a back seat to the drama while feeding investors with insider information. This also dates back to the early 17th century in Europe, when global market economies developed, from that of European market economies of the 14th-16th centuries. What endangers these structures is democratic process and a vested populace that pays taxes for the purpose of fair representation. There would be no representation without taxation. Corporate personhood (Citizens United, ironically titled) is killing democracy by bribing representatives who should represent taxpayers, but instead focus on corporations. This has to stop, by democratic or any means necessary. More people should understand this and vote better candidates into office who are not right-wing corporate shills. If that doesn't happen, extreme income inequality will worsen and be the cause of a revolution that the 99% will likely lose.
