[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a surprising fact: companies exist to make money for their owners, not to provide as much employment as possible for as many people as possible.

Either be essential to a company's functioning and success, or start your own company, or work for a government which is not focused on efficiency.  Expecting employment to be a sinecure is just foolish.  [/quote]

But they get tax breaks because they are “job creators” who “contribute to the community”. [/quote]

We're going to be taxing the AI bots soon. That's how they're going to generate the UBI.[/quote]

The problem is this kind of taxation has never been done and the massive corporations will fight it tooth-and-nail.

The US tax system relies on W2 wage taxation as the primary driver of tax receipts.  Massive companies that in reality earn billions, end up paying almost no corporate income tax because of their ability to manipulate the tax system.

Even the WSJ is also now saying that there needs to be a way to tax billionaires because they can essentially pay zero tax...they don't pay themselves a wage, they borrow against their stock to fund their living expenses instead of selling their stock and paying capital gains, etc.  They don't generate any income to tax.[/quote]
