Let the machines do those jobs and then share the proceeds.

Again, this is the same argument Marxists were making in 19th century.  It didn't work out that way

I dunno, maybe with mass automation something will be different.  But we can't underestimate the greed of the average consumer, or the greed of the average share-holder.

Yes i agree with this, this is essentially Fordism, where Henry Ford paid his workers more than he could have so they would buy the vehicles Ford was producing.
