Do you want the income stream to go to the earners heirs? How would you do that?

I toy with two ideas at the moment.

1) An inheritable residual of salary, like the social security used to be.

2) A program by which employees gain ownership in the company. (I.E. stockholder dividends would eventually buy out the stock itself which would revert to the current workers). (more than just a voluntary employee-purchase plan, but a redifinition of the meaning of a stock).

One is more direct than the other, but they both accomplish the goal of rewarding the continuing effort in an enterprise a bit more than just passive investment. That would promote all the things people say they admire about free enterprise.
