No but, you don't understand : because of competition, capitalists will have cut their profits to almost nothing in order to stay "in the game". If they give others dividends, and higher executives a higher salary than needed, then they'll have to raise their prices, and hence disappear for their greed will be countered by the need to stay efficient/competitive.
They'd still need to make some profit, but only for what is beneficial to their survival, e.g., for r&d and better machines. As for the rest, competition will ensure that the passive incomes and surplus value disappears, because free markets work in theory and in practice. Hurray for neo-liberalism, at home and abroad.
