Surely you aren't saying that an employee profit-sharing structure isn't "capitalist," are you?
After all, we used to have regulations on companies that incentivized using those profits to increase employee salaries, provide better benefits, etc. But then the Reagan revolution came along and the regulations instead incentivized using those profits to pay dividends to shareholders. That, in turn, led to companies paying their board members and CEOs not through salaries but through stock...which then incentivized the board and CEO to make business decisions that are primarily geared toward improving the stock price rather than improving the company.
Exactly how would adjusting our fiscal policy to redirect the use of those profits to be back into the company rather than the shareholders be against "capitalism"?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
