Who shares what percentages of that business is a completely separate and different issue.
There is the fundamental flaw with right wingers, they could care less who shares in the wealth. Their greed knows no boundaries, they will crush who ever gets in their way in their pursuit of profits. Even to attempting a coup based on facism to "save us from communism". If FDR wouldn't be intimidated enough to step down, he would be assinated.

Remember, the wealth was held with just a few people, 50% of the population lived at near subsistance level. The GDP has absolutely no relationship to standard of living the American people enjoyed. That was true all the way through WWII. The standard of living went largely unchanged well into the mid 1950's, in spite of the GDP numbers. Which could be read as the GDP of a handful of corporations controlling the wealth, which never reached the common man.
