That's a valid complaint about the graphs--the first one is particularly misleading-- but it doesn't warrant ignoring the truth of the situation. It's oriented that way because employee compensation is naturally a much larger % of GDP... the profit axis nearly doubled itself, which wouldn't have otherwise been adequately portrayed.
Basically what you can take away is that compensation/GDP dropped roughly 10%, while corporate profits/GDP increased roughly 5%. This is a well known trend and you don't need to rely on a shitty graph to recognize it.
But none of it really matters anyway because you're a libertarian and won't be happy until the State of the Union is sponsored by Coca Cola

Yes, because as everyone knows, there's nothing a libertarian loves more than when government and corporations are in bed together. Oh wait. No. That's the domain of the two major parties. So are you part of team corporate fascism or team corporate socialism?
