Pondering this while omitting the part of the argument that's like "...while compensation for the top 1% has skyrocketed" is hilarious
But under this scenario that doesn't matter. If the money got paid out to employees broadly, we would just do something inflationary so that the money gets eaten and has the same value as before ... wouldn't we?

Concentrated wealth at the top means a small portion of the population can afford to outbid each other on goods services and property, so the price of everything goes up, so isn't inflation still happening anyway? The stagnant wage becomes worth less and less

The prices of things targeted for that small market of rich people would go up, but the prices of things targeted for the general public would not, because otherwise those companies would go out of business.
