        he is right, if in the future robots will replace most workers, and with the rich avoiding taxes - who will pay? The jobless poor?

        Robots will be replacing you folks. If you aren't working taxes are going to have to come from some where.

        Interesting. Anything automated should be taxed. This is a problem that is getting worse.

        @CBSDFW Bill Gates does not legislate, so how is it possible for him to propose a tax at all?

        depends on context of "propose". Agreed, not as a legislator
