Tax them e.g. 50% of their revenue. And give them a tax rebate that is the sum of the salary for the human employees. That would be a big incentive to employ humans and still they can make good profit.

- fxj 10y agoIt would be like a VAT. Every company would have to pay it. So it levels the field.
- 6d6b73 10y agoNo, not every company. Only companies in the country that taxes automation. Other, smarter, countries would skip that tax and end up with cheaper products. This whole "tax robots" idea would only end with higher prices for products, and it's the people that would have to pay these prices.
