Guess what, we already have the system for this in place, it's called free enterprise. Granted there are far too many restrictions and far too many loop holes, but al in all, it works pretty damn good.

Where most people lose the concept, is when they think that effort equals a capital gain.. The only time that efforts equals a resulting gain is when the gain exceeds the cost to produce it. A man (or woman) can work very hard and yet produce no tangible gain, conversely another could work much less and yet they produce a handsome profit. Since the capital gain is available to be distributed, the worker producing it will more likely see a reward. The person who works only for the wage, will not likely see increases in that wage, unless they are a union member.

This is one of the differences between public and private sector jobs, private sector jobs have the potential of producing a capital gain, while public jobs do not.

 

Thank you for voicing your opinion and giving me the opportunity to clarify my point.

Most people mistake free enterprise with capitalism. They often work together but are not the same. In fact, capitalism often restrains free enterprise when free enterprise threatens the profits of the capitalist. There are many examples of capitalist restraining progress because change would interfere with their profits.

Free enterprise is a system in which privately owned businesses are able to compete with each other to offer goods and services. The aim of this competitive system is to produce the best goods and services at the most economic price. In theory both the consumer and the producer benefit from this system. The entrepreneur benefits when he offers superior products at competitive price because this will increases his share of the market and his profits. The consumer benefits by getting the best product for the most economical price.

Capitalism is an economic system in which people and corporations, through the use of "capital investments" (money) gain ownership and control of a country's means of production and distribution. This control is often used to limit competition, control prices and maxmise profits.

The purpose of capitalist is to produce the maximum profit for their investors. Capitalist have no moral or ethical responsibly to the consumer or the society in which they operate. Their only responsibility is to their stock holders and investors without concern for the actual utility and safety of their products or any concerned for the collateral damage their products and marketing policies have on individuals, society or the natural environment. For that reason governments have had to impose restrictions and controls on businesses, especially those that are run by large capitalistic corporations. These controls are resisted by capitalist claiming that it interferes with their profits.

As part of their operative aims, Capitalist use the power of money to produce socio-economic conditions that are conducive to the maximization of their profits. These manipulations include but are not limited to subversions of markets, governments and public polices. Since their sole aim is to increase their control of markets and profits, these manipulations can be very damaging to a country's overall economic, political and ecological systems. It is this relentless drive to increase profits, at any cost, that has created the economic and social instability that currently plagues western societies.

It is this upward, often illegal and unjust redistribution of wealth that has to be addressed and controlled.
