The most far fetched part of this story is a “Govt representing the people” that would tax the robot.

  Facts on ground prove the point. https://taxfoundation.org/top-1-percent-pays-more-taxes-bottom-90-percent/ https://taxfoundation.org/top-1-percent-pays-more-taxes-bott... Don't let your bias or brainwashing go against facts. It is inevitable that the top 1% will be bearing most of our taxes Donald Trump was elected by a populist movement, not by the donor class. Government also printed $10 Trillion in the last two years and gave it away to mostly poor

    > It is inevitable that the top 1% will be bearing most of our taxes [posts a graph that shows top 1% bears about 35%, not most, of income taxes, ignoring payroll and other regressive taxes] Compare to https://i.imgur.com/KLmRsY8.png https://i.imgur.com/KLmRsY8.png , which indicates that the top 1% have about 20.9% of income and pay about 24.1% of taxes.
