Well when you take into account GST, income tax their employees pay, corporate tax, payroll tax, import&export duties (and every business up and down the supply chain has the exact same tax burden), there is not a lot left over for the business or the employees.

The reason businesses exist is for creating profitable returns on capital investments. W/o profit, you simply do not have jobs in the first place.

Whoever runs the company is currently taking it all. Not the gov’t or employees.

I tried and failed to find a relevant statistic, but I’m pretty sure total CEO compensation is not “all” of net corporate profits.
