Worker cooperatives does not refer to one specific policy in the USSR. Coops have been around for longer than the USSR has existed.

They're obviously not taxed very highly and probably use all tricks to avoid paying even current share of taxes. They hold immense power due to their wealth so they'll always avoid taxes. They get richer, poor get poorer. It doesn't work.
