>Taxes should be levied on companies and robots, not humans doing everyday things.

This is also a slippery slope. As slippery as taxing individuals, property etc.

If you are a libertarian and you have give it some thought - the correct amount of taxation is zero on all fronts. Every time you give power to the govt to tax you (or the robots you make) you are dissolving the freedom you process.

( It's another large conversation as to the best ways to sustain the govt)
