The "robot tax" is a mad concept, but it does point up that human labor shouldn't be taxed either! Consumption taxes vastly more fair.

Okay, but what would be the difference with the current progressive income tax brackets then?
-
Inc. tax is consumption-type-neutral (on its own), but not income-over-time-invariant. Con. taxes would be opposite.

Thanks for the explanation, what kinds of people are separated by the income-over-time variable?
-
Not sure how widespread today, but hits highly variable income streams, like self-employed or small businesses, as well as...

...people who have a good job in year 1, pay taxes, then go unemployed in year 2 (or even just lose good job and take worse).
