Why do Corp's have more right to their profits than employees? Why is sharing the billions $ in revenue such a problem? Is the company there for profit, to the exclusion of the welfare of their employees?

Because one can not exist without the other. Without a place to work at - employees are just plain out of work. Ask any NHLPA member that.
As for the whole sharing of the wealth part between employees and employers - a means to do this does exist -
buy shares in the company. That's what most employers here in Calgary do, and they usually sweeten the deal by matching what employees put in. Pension plans are a rarity here, and the investment in the company by employees helps them keep a vested interest in what's good for the company, not just themselves.
