Want to try that at home?

Capitalism only works on the large scale.

Communism only works on the small scale.

As to taxes the rest of what you ask; I dunno.


P.S. I just finished reading the first of those. I laughed a bit at

"
(Note the power of motivation centered on equity-building instead of the fear of loss of employment.)
" (regarding ESOPs)

It can still be a fear of loss of employment; perhaps even moreso because so much more can be lost.
Loss of a low-paying job is a smaller loss than loss of a high-paying job.
With so few ESOPs, can you really get a job at another? Will you need to relocate?

I worked for an employee-owned company for a few years and everyone there seemed frantic about putting every last available penny into the company and worried about what would happen if they lost their jobs. It was ridiculous.
