By no means to I especially want the biggest capitalists to clean toilets... I said if they insisted on working in their former organisation then this is appropriate.
When someone leads a private company we must understand that the wealth they have ammassed is directly the result of the exploitation of their workers and of society. To allow them to maintain any kind of power within the democraticised corporation would undermine it.
These capitalist fat cats have exploited sometimes millions and billions of dollars by exploiting the working class, pillaging the environment and ripping off the consumers.. We do not propose ANY punishment for this. We even allow a VERY COMFORTABLE living wage to be paid to these individuals after we have returned all assets of the business and their person to the public, where ownership rightly belongs.

The capitalistic environment (if uncorrupted- regulated in the wrong direction) stimulates innovation, encourages good customer service, and produces quality based on freedom of choice.
If company A produces a better product than company B, then company B will be forced to raise its standards.
Employees are not forced to work for their companies (at least in the US). If an employee views their wages, benefits, or anything else they view as disagreeable from their employer there is nothing stopping them from looking for other employment opportunities.
Uncorrupted is the key phrase here. Walmart didnt become what it is because of being good to its employees or putting out good products. In many cases where employees have ownership in the company the products and services are usually outstanding. If your suggesting that this be forced would go against many of the reasons why we had a tea party a few hundred years ago.
A vision that always comes to mind when having this discussion is- if we were all taking a test, and it was common knowledge that everyone is going to get a C- there wouldn't really be a need to study.
Pan Im almost aligned with everything you stated except the $1000000. Although you wouldnt see me out in the streets protesting it either.
