Explain where I am debasing myself? If you are referring to a company paying me less than they make from me, how do you expect them to make any money, or even break even, if they don’t do that?
So you propose they pay you exactly the amount you make them, and the company goes broke in the process, so now you also make nothing since you don’t have a job?
So the people who put in the most risk and started the company get nothing more than someone who joined 20 years later? How do you expect companies to get created if the owner constantly loses more and more of their company the bigger it gets? Why risk any of this money in the company when it isn’t even his anymore?
Since they run the business I assume they will be making a lot more than the rest of the employees, right?
State and worker directed capital funds that vet and invest in new firms.
Do you really think that can work? I think you will have a very hard time getting people to agree to put their money into stuff like this.
We will structure access to capital such that we don’t depend on profit-sucking capitalists to grant it to us.
Ah, yeah, let’s just restructure the whole system into some untested idea, that’s going to go over great with everyone. How would you even start making this change?

What’s the risk they take? Will they be killed if their business fails to turn a profit?
Oh no, they’ll might have to work for a wage like the people they were exploiting.
It’s a huge financial risk to start a business, most require a lot of upfront costs.

It’s called income tax, I’m the one making the income, so what should the company pay it? The company pays taxes also, like a payroll tax.
