Stock-Boy Bots Are Stealing American Jobs

[Schroeder]

Tax the companies and they will just go to 3rd world countries were the robots can do the job (or children who are even cheaper than robots) and they only have to pay minimum taxes.
I think capitalism has to lead to a moving industry. If one part of the world is getting too expensive they move to the next part that is cheaper for them (don't ask me who is then supposed to buy there products but so far this is the technique they are using).

I don't see this as being a bad thing, assuming we don't drive off the firms that make the robots and the parts for them. Or at least the firms that own those firms.
People have been complaining about mechanization stealing jobs since the 19th century, but it never produces fewer jobs than it makes. It streamlines the economy and frees up capital for other areas of development.
Besides, it isn't as if we have a choice. Other nations will eventually take advantage of such advancements, anyway, and our business and economy will lose competitive advantage. If the government needs to be doing anything it is to cut corporate taxes(preferably to zero, consumers pay them anyways) streamline business law, and enact damage caps for lawsuits.
