It is encoded into law, except instead of sharing just with employees, you share it with everyone through taxes.
There's no reason that an employee who just happens to work at a firm that becomes successful should get profits from that, while a similar employee doing the same work who just happens to work at a failing company should get nothing. How could you justify that?
Putting business profit taxes in a big pot and spending them on everyone evens this out.
Fundamentally all you're really saying is you want corporate taxes to be higher. Which is arguable given the well-understood negative consequences of that which hurt everyone (e.g. taxes dissuade business formation, which means no jobs at all).
