Additionally, stating that people are dumb and 'can just learn something new' is a rather arrogant position to hold. Not everyone enjoys learning new things, especially when it's forced. Recall how much we all hated school as children. Instead the best learning is learning that people want to do. Rather than forcing learning through poverty and boredom, incentives and Basic Income bonuses should be paid to people. Perhaps a person who has no desire to learn new things will spend his or her life constantly enrolling into courses to earn a government stipend to bolster their income, most people would consider this a form of abusing the system, however in reality such a person would end up picking things up regardless of whether they intended to or not and you never know, if you try enough skills perhaps they will find what their passion or at least something they enjoy doing. I, for one, would have loved the opportunity for the government to fund my enrolment into a music production course and a Mandarin (or Korean(Or Japanese)) language course. If they did that, I would be able to see if I love music as much as I think I do; instead when I enrolled in college in the UK when I was 16 (you're given free education until 18) I chose to use my 'paid for education' to learn I.T.- despite knowing the industry changes every four years, I picked it because it was future proof and safe, not because it was something I wanted to do. In fact I wanted to do music production, but one of the course requirements was to play an instrument, and I never learned one. Another thing I would pick up if I had the money for it.
The automation tax is inevitable, however the author's contribution to the idea by having ONLY FULLY-automated corporations contributing to the tax is absurd and un-workable. In fact, the automation tax will instead be based per unit, per capita income. So the more a single machine contributes to the production of a product via percentage of the manufacturing process, the more than single machine/unit has to pay with regards to the unit's taxable income as earned by the business AFTER existing taxation and duties with regards to the profit for the annum. I have yet to hear a better method for establishing a universal basic income in an automated future.
