Tax robots. At a minimum, at the highest income tax rate bracket.

How? What should a Roomba owner have to pay? Or a dishwasher owner? Or someone who has a calculator?

Computer used to be a job description, do we all owe?

Where would you draw the line?

How would you enforce it?

Edit/Append: Also, how do you calculate the income to be taxed?

> What should a Roomba owner have to pay?

The same amount that someone with a stay-at-home spouse who cleans the house pays.

Robots don’t have income.

Are you going to pay this tax for your washing machine, dishwasher, car, word processor, electric lightbulbs? The first two are robots, and all of them put a lot of people out of work.
