If there is a tax (I believe there should be) on automation then my opinion is that it should be based on the profit and reduced by the percentage of 'traditional' (role specific) job hours that remain; counting service personnel the same as bus-boys/janitorial services.
If the profit is under a given percentage then there shouldn't be any tax assessed.

I would say number of employees under a certain number, but that's kind of the point, right? I still think a simple progressive tax is better overall (no loopholes or additional taxes). If you can make mad cash efficiently, great, as long as you can't put on an "oil company" hat and avoid paying taxes on those profits.
- biot 9y agoHow much are you personally willing to pay in tax for your refrigerator/freezer, your dishwashing machine, and your laundry machines?
- lovemenot 9y agoThis is a good question, but I suspect it's disingenuously framed, so as to stymie your parent. If she says "a lot", you reply "good luck to you, and you alone". If she replies "very little", you say "right, so your tax is going nowhere." Feels like possibly you are defending a local maximum.
