Corporations already pay income tax, as do the investors in those corporations. Ultimately someone gets the cash from corporate dividends and stock buy-backs. Just because productivity increases (i.e. corporations are able to generate higher profit with fewer employees) doesn't imply any need to change taxation.

Of course! > Just because productivity increases Yeah I guess I'm taking a leap here where robots replace human manual labor and artificial intelligence replaces intellectual labor and there's no role for human labor anymore. What's the just thing to do in this case? In my opinion, it's not "well we should really be committed to the existing rules because it's worked out well so far." If humans exit the workforce, the way governments work should change to answer such a significant change.
