By that logic, there wouldn't be any profits at all. All should go to the workers.

Perfectly fine to make whatever profit the business/market supports.

But if a company is making profits while underpaying their employees relative to market rates, yes, that's backwards.

It's almost like companies shouldn't try to win a war on two fronts.

Instead of having shareholders and customers, just have customers. Then, yes, all the profit would go to the workers/owners.
