I think we're in full agreement here. Profit from sales should be distributed to the workers who created the products, who can in turn support businesses that are useful to them, who can in turn support business that are useful to them, and so on. It's the basis of a functioning market economy.
What breaks the system is allowing a tiny group of people to hoard majority of the "wealth" (which is just a social construct and requires cooperation from a willing society, or as it is today, cooperation from a propagandized, overworked, and exhausted society). This gives them unchecked power to dictate what the rest of society does in terms of labour, research, politics, etc.

Did you mean "egalitarian"?
