He says "you'd think we'd tax the robot at a similar level." And if you think about it, it does make a lot of sense. Robots will be depriving humans of work, so to support those humans the company deploying them will continue to pay tax for their employment, this will then be used as a way to support the rest of society.

>add the tax to the cost of production. 

Better than a "universal income" IMFO
