Hi BJ,
Just to ensure I am understanding you correctly;
If a worker is employed in a factory producing X, and X sells for $25 on the market, what should the worker be paid?

Apart from that, just checking, but did you see my first post? I still fail to see how your arguments are compatible with the master-servant relationships we see in the bible. God did not even think it wrong for a master to own the persons of his servants, not to talk about their labor.
God did not create all men equal socially. There are masters and servants, rich and poor, and that is the way he ordained the world. The equality he wants between men (apart from legal equality in judgment) is in terms of necessary items like food, water, clothing, housing.
It seems to me you have offered a lot of philosophical reasons for why you believe what you believe, but those are not bible reasons.
Where does the bible say a master must get down and work with his servants?
Where does the bible support the idea that the owners of means of production are thieves?
Where does the bible even support the definition of surplus capital?
Just to ensure I am understanding you correctly;
I vaule his labor for exactly what I give him not a penny more. And yes his labor will bring a Capitalist more than they pay him. Thats called using a mans labor as a means for Capitalist to accumulate wealth. They didn't buy that surplus labor, they stole it because they could.
