How much do extremely wealthy people owe to the society that gave them the chance to prosper so much?

Trucks don't pay the same highway taxes as bicycles.

who said they would do nothing?? they could follow their dreams and become an artist or travel the world,,,

Some will do that too. Others will want to be some of the few humans needed in cutting edge robotics.

who will pay taxs when no one is working?? half the population isnt working to the point they pay taxs now and look where we are,,,

I don't know exactly how the transition will happen. I just think it's inevitable.

thinking it and it happening are two different things,,

sure there will be automation but there will never be no need for human labor,, that will mostly come for low paying jobs which will hurt the poor more than the rich, which brings us back to the problem of what if they quit and go on the government dole??

no taxs no socialist programs,,

That's commie propaganda.

You can do better than that.

Why would I need to?

 

[Anomalism]

sure there will be automation but there will never be no need for human labor

I think we'll eventually get very close to that point, close enough that most people won't be needed for work.

 

[Anomalism]

Why would I need to?

I don't know. Because it's more worthy? I try to do better all the time for me.

Trucks don't pay the same highway taxes as bicycles.

That's right. Trucks pay road taxes to cover the costs they impose on our road network. Bicycles pay nothing.

Because they want a job, not welfare.

The jobs aren't going to stop going away. Our society is changing.

ROFL! Yes they are, nimrod. No country ever taxed its way to prosperity. Why do you imagine our economic growth has slowed to a crawl? higher taxes stifle growth.

Bullshit. After ww2 fdr put this country back to work by taxing the rich and building our infrastructure, which is now falling apart and we’re broke. So roll back the bush trump and Reagan tax breaks

That's commie propaganda.

When you have no come back, throw out the word commie. Did rush teach you to do that?

I use the word "commie" because that's what it is.

 

[Anomalism]

what do you do then???

The need for human labor going down is inevitable. Do you have any better ideas for how to stop society from collapsing on itself?

Abolish the Democrat party.

That's not actually an answer to my question.

No it’s not. Perhaps you don’t know what communism is.

History shows that labor saving devices have never reduced the need for human labor. All they have done is free up labor for other uses.

yeah its called freedom and individual responsibility,,,

and labor will only go down in a few industries,,, it will never go away for the individual and his needs,,

Sure it is. 95% of all the humanly solvable probems in the world can be resolved by getting rid of people who believe they know how to run your life.

Never before in history have our tools gotten to the point where they will achieve increasing levels of sentience and autonomy. It's different this time. Our tools are outgrowing us.

Of course I do. Just check out the Democrat party agenda.

It has always been this way. The tools we create create us in turn.
