It shouldn't be
Discussion
hmm interesting, why not in your opinion?
Because there are too many taxes already. Why more?
this is a lazy journalist question
Because free markets matter and taxing increases in productivity is akin to inflating the currency which steals time and work from people. What if the automation helps small business owners and the tax decreases their profitability? Then you have only the big corps who can pay for high priced lawyers to defend them from said tax creating regulatory capture by a monopoly. Besides the fact taxation is theft and immoral.
won't the big companies be able to offer so much cheaper prices through uncompetitive efficiency compared to smaller business and also wouldn't they implement licensing and patent fees? 🤔
Central planning can be more efficient but it always fails at some point. There are plenty of unintended consequences of tax and regulatory schemes.
