Robots won't replace humans on a one-for-one basis. One human could be replaced by a hundred tiny robots or a factory with a hundred workers might be replaced by a single big robot. We already have single robots that can do a task hundreds of times faster than a human so how do you tax them equally to human work?


Tax them by their production. If one robot can do the labor of 40,000 surely it can pay for the people it displaced so they don't starve to death.
