The Policy
The RPC recognizes that rapid advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence have allowed for dramatic gains in operational efficiency resulting in shrinking of the manual and cognitive labour workforces. To ensure this is not exploited to the detriment of society and further expansion of wealth inequity, we will legislate an automation tax.
The Research
Our Broader Stance on:
The purpose of our economy is primarily to create and maintain the necessities for society. We are lucky enough to have surplus in our economic production which can also provide for many of our personal wishes and desires, beyond just our needs. Building a strong, resilient economy is critical to ensuring this continues to be the case.
An economy is not a playground for the ultrawealthy capitalists to extract surplus value by exploiting labourers.
