As usual the issue is ownership.

The owning class, you guessed it, own all the machines that create the abundance and so they get almost 100% of the reward.

All the orgies and none of the work for them, all of the work and none of the orgies for us. :(

100%, they will only pay subsistence + treats on average, regardless of productivity.
