Distributing the benefits of increased productivity to the workers was never part of the capitalist motto. That was what socialism was for.

Nobody's gonna work harder and smarter if they know they'll get the same outcome as those who don't, as per socialism. That's why Europe is falling behind the US at tech innovations. People aren't gonna put in the risk, the grind and the hours if they'll get the same living standards as a unionized tram driver.
