"why call it a tax on robots?"

I'm good with robot payroll tax. Call it what you want. Some boss who pays employer SS for workers is replacing 10 workers who also pay SS tax with one robot and no contributions at all to SSTF.

It's different from the other taxes you've mentioned.

  • Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Maybe he should start by enticing Dems this time.
