There is a reasonable argument that companies who employ a lot of people per unit of profit/revenue should pay a lower rate of tax on those profits. If you create a fleet of robo-semi trucks and take over the American logistics business by cutting 80% of the transportation workforce, you are creating significant social harm in the pursuit of profit. Increased taxation could either act as a disincentive to the labour-pocalypse or provide revenue to help society smooth the career transition for those workers. This of course will never happen in the US.
