At some point the government will have to supply most citizens with a minimum standard income, paid for through taxes on businesses and corporations that don't utilize human labor.

(11,862 posts)Every robot used instead of human labor should have to pay Social Security the amount of money it would otherwise pay humans, as well as the minimum amount of unemployment for each displaced human!
Use that money to help pay the minimum income. Of course the minimum income would have to be enough cover food, housing and clothing only (no designer labels, please). After that you need to find employment to subsidize your subsidized income!
I reiterate WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
