Article: The robot that takes your job should pay taxes, says Bill Gates

https://qz.com/911968/bill-gates-the-robot-that-takes-your-job-should-pay-taxes/ A friend posted this article at my work and I replied: "Bill Gates is seeking a way to soften the inequities of Capitalism. A robot tax is a way of redistributing profits of a capitalist enterprise for shutting workers out of the economic system. If the workers owned the means of production - the factory - instead of a handful of shareholders, then the workers wouldn't be replacing their jobs with robots to begin with." Hope I got that right. Anyway, thought maybe you'd enjoy seeing this article (and/or possibly comment on it). Cheers! Chad
