Ok. So you invest and risk your capital to make your business better and that should somehow benefit people that you pay to do some stuff? People that you need less and less because that's mostly what raising productivity means?
I think the right way is sealing tax system to efficiently gather tax from businesses so that productivity gains can properly benefit everybody and just tax employees less if you want that gains to improve employees wellbeing. Or even subsidise poor people through income tax credit or basic income.
It's not the workers who have to do something extra to justify what they're making.
