Why not start by taxing the use of computers, the internet and smartphones, all major vectors of work automation. (Let's not).
A "robot tax" would be a tax on innovation, on the engine of prosperity. You tax what you want less of.

@fchollet if there were no tax evasion scheme allowing your company and all big others to avoid paying anything, that could be an argument. -
@fchollet thery're basically planning to build a society where all jobs in the tertiary sector are to disapear, and don't pay taxes. Great. -
@fchollet I wonder how they will face the death of the middle class.

@fchollet That is a simplistic understanding of taxes. You tax to incorporate an externality. Taxing robots can offset labor changes. -
@fchollet Also the robot tax proposals miss the fact that windfall gains in productivity are already taxed as part of corporate income tax. -
@fchollet if that is true, then they need to start taxing poor people. Because we want less poverty. Right? -
@fchollet tractors and combines! Stole 90% of the farm jobs -
@fchollet nonsense, you don't "tax what you want less of". -
Agree
@fchollet, but tell that to '#basicincome now' advocates who say rent/capital going to tech innovators should be taxed to fund#ubi.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/833419671592275968 … -
@fchollet so income tax is because what? -
@fchollet pay tax for each cycle of your processor ... and your brain. :) -
@fchollet exactly, tax to disentivise neg. externalities like pollution and cut or remove tax on pos. externalities like income and profit -
@fchollet Totally agree. Hamon should fight tax evasion, not innovation.
