Look around you. You're surrounded by goods you could afford only because automation made it so. So sure, you can say "all the automation money is going to business owners pockets", but you're surrounded by wealth made possible by automation.
> If you live in a hardcore capitalist country like the US all the automation money will go straight to the business owners pockets.
Let's look at this through a moral lens. If you come up with an automated way to make mouse traps, who should profit from your invention? If you came up with it on company time, the business owners should. If you came up with it on your own time, then its yours. Diverting that money anywhere else is immoral and disincentivizes future inventions.
