The problem with keeping money and doing away with the profit (a good theoretic idea but impracticle) is that who is paid what?

At the moment a persons wages in so many circumstances are very unjustly balanced against the profit made on the product or service of which they are involved in the manufacture or provision of.

I suppose a flat rate for all would be the common answer, but I'm not really sure how this would work.

Also, how do you quantify profit? You can not sell everything for cost. If you were to inforce that then where does R&D money come from. So a company has to be able to 'make some money' to create the next generation of product.

I think a much better idea would be a first step of 'Profit Capping'. ***Everything*** over a certain amount goes towards the welfare state and national (global) infrastructure. Kinda like SERIOUSLY HEAVY CORPORATE TAXES.
