The problem is that all the aggressive proposals come far in advance of the technology actually being even remotely ready (robots don't serve me meals from McDonalds yet, the minimum-wage worker robotic replacement hasn't happened - it probably won't happen in my lifetime). They're somewhere between reactionary efforts to strangle the technology in the crib, and just completely misinformed naval-gazing by people with nothing better to do - proposing fictional scenarios to argue about rather then dealing with real data.
