I don't really understand the fuss about how robots will kill jobs and how to tax them. At the end, they are a form of capital, that enables a company to work; and as such, they are nothing new. What we need to tax better is companies profits, which get taxed less than individuals in most countries (basically for the reason that companies are more flexible and have more means to fight against tax impositions than a salaried person). Then, if some jobs dissapear, and not enough new jobs replace them, you go to the companies that are ammasing wealth and you tax and redistribute that wealth throughout the society (one of the functions of the government).
