Reply #5: "How do we do this?"

Kill capitalism to start. :)

My replacement model is this (mixed with socialism of course for necessary goods and services)...outlaw non-employee private ownership, but allow non-employees to adopt a 20 or 25 year buy-back program. The profits a company recieves now buys-back ownership from non-employees. Any remaining profit then is distributed to the employees, according to the amount of stock they own. The bought-back stock then gets distributed to employees proportionally to their wages. When employees retire, they now have a retirement program, which consists of their former company buying the stock back off them (if the company does good, they retire well depending on the stock price). Allow some sort of disversified exchange, so employees can spread their ownership to 5 local companies max (just to protect retirement from going away if their company fails).

This model allows current workers to profit proportionally from their ownership (more profit for longer working workers), it allows them to gain ownership as they work, it allows them to retire with a retirement plan, and it also gives an initial private investor 20-25 years of finite returns on their initial investment (instead of perpetual infinite ROI, as is the current case).

Just a brainstorm Ive been tossing around. What worker wouldn't want to earn ownership as they work? What person below the top 5% would possibly be against this model?
