is this good thinking? - we dont want to disturb the profit setup, for many reasons, but we can justly prevent profits generating evergrowing accelerating wealthconcentration/ injustice/ violence by limiting individual fortunes to the maximum [or some multiple of the maximum] that an individual can earn by their own work - calculating this thus: 50 hrs x 50 weeks x 50 years x world-avg hrly pay, minus minimum lifetime spending [say, US$15,000/yr] = US$1 million [2006 $s] & distributing the overfortunes regularly equally among everyone [every family wd get another US$70,000/yr] - we can set the fortune limit at this, or 2x or 10x this, & thus justly totally prevent the endless hoovering of earnings by the various legal thefts in the economy [richgetricheretc], causing escalation of violence misery to total extinction [we already have 60x the bombs for total extinction]
[if we pay tertiary students for studying [which is just] there are no reasons for higher than avg hrly payrate]

Yeah, sure. I think you should start by paying the same for all the labor you consume. Give a big tip to the guys on the grill at Hardys. Run your calculations and start paying the difference out of your own pocket.

If I had a factory and you ran the world I'd burn it before I'd let you take it.

".. the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money .. men who are the hitchhiker’s of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes criminals -by-right and looters-by-law.. men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims..then money becomes its creators’ avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they’ve passed a law to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. The race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.”

Looting is what you are promoting, and ruin and slaughter would be the final result of your plan.

Since profits are not theft, everything you wrote that follows is nonsense. That being said, what you describe has already been tried in the former USSR. You see how far that got them.

some profits helps to encourage job creation and new and better products...but I've seen instances of injust profits...millionaires who get discount on purchases, but a retired pensioner immigrant who needs something to fix his house has to pay full price, one example...
