You are gonna freak a lot of people out with ideas like these. The mere suggestion that the people doing the actual WORK should benefit in any significant way is just gonna cost too much...
Don't you care about "The PROFITS"???? (You need to read that with a lot of reverb and some thunder rumbling in the background.)
All joking aside, what you are saying is exactly what the Labor movement was saying a long time ago, and parts of it are still saying today. While I am an active Democrat, I am also an ardent supporter of organized labor.
Have you read anything about Eugene Debs? I would strongly urge you to take a look at his writings and speeches. He did not promote violence but he sure did talk a lot about the idea that the people who do the actual work deserve better.
I carried this banner as a sig line for a long time:
One of the most uplifting things I have ever done was to attend the annual dinner for the Debs Foundation. They recite that statement before the dinner, and that spirit carried thru the entire evening.
Here is the website addy for the Foundation:
