That's old as fuck, they already drafted a report:

ugh this is what happens when rich people want to own a sock puppet robot they can use as a tax loophole and sue people anonymously

liberal logic: if niggers can have rights why not robots?

>>34240389
Does that mean your sex robot has to have a pension now?

>>34241871

robots are literally not people

not like "black people arent people" ,but you're effectively saying vegetation has rights

This is about the state being able to recover taxes from businesses in a post-manufacturing world, and not really about thinking of robo-welfare.

Think about it, conventionally, governments tax workers' wages to pay for social services, and currently they're the most viable source of tax revenues, as they don't evade taxes like corporations or the super rich.

But when industry is automated, then all of that taxable revenue is lost, while profit is concentrated. Without putting some form of taxation on it, robotic automation is not just going to be a major loss for workers, but for social services and infrastructure as well.

All the major problems of western society can be attributed to the increasing inequality, obviously, this way of thinking going about it is borderline farcical, but it's a legitimate concern.
