A comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?. Parent comment
One inherits free money - and pay inheritance tax of it. In order for capital to be free, capital gains tax needs to be paid.
And the general idea to protect against "double taxation" is meaningless. All money are constantly being taxed again and again.
Regardless. Inequality in itself is really bad, and Americans do feel the consequences.
