Hi. I support the idea of UBI so I agree with you here.

However taxing robots is really difficult. You have your doubts too, I see. They already took many jobs and will take many more. Excel robot with one person is able to do jobs previously done by number of accountants. There are 3D printers that are reducing the need for many manufacturing jobs. Autonomous vehicles will replace many truck and taxi drivers. Their impact is the effect of the progress we have. They make things cheaper for us - so that's good. What is the reason for taxing robots? Tax just to collect more money? Maybe there are other, better ideas to get money from the taxes (increase VAT for example)? Or one wants to protect the workplaces? Is there really need to protect low skill level and/or mundane jobs?

I wonder what is your view on this.
