Excuse me Mr. President, but the American workers DO get their share of the profits, and they get it off the top, regardless of whether the businesses they work for make or lose money. It is called SALARY.

Exactly.

I have friends who have not taken a paycheck from “their” company so their employees can maintain their standard of living and keep their jobs.

The owners of these companies are living off their savings to help other people who don’t understand what the effect is on the owners and those very same employees would never do that.

Actually, U.S. workers --- either individually, or through their labor union pension funds, mutual funds and so forth --- ARE major owners/shoreholders of U.S. businesses, and DO share the profits.

Zero talks like it's 1938 -- or 1914 --- or 1848 --- some retro scenario were the white-moustached capitalists all wear striped pants and top hats, and the oppressed workers, shirtless and sweating, are toiling in the mills for a dollar a day.

Idiot.
