Some people are promoting the idea of taxing robots "instead of people".
I'm guessing these are the same people who used to argue for a "flat tax".
You can't tax a robot because robots own nothing. If you pretend to tax a robot, you're only taxing the human who owns the robot. You are stealing a portion of that robot's value from the owner of the robot.
Even if you ignore that inconvenient fact, the money is still going to fund government.
You're diverting money away from the economy and dumping it down a black hole of desperation and misery.
Funding government is always the unethical choice.

If not, that’s OK.
