Nationalize the robots. Each robot made is given a single stake owner aside from the corporation that buys it and maintains it. Every dollar that robot makes gives 5 % to an individual. When the robot is replaced or if the corporation goes out of business the person is then assigned a new robot.

But many economists argue that automation bears much more blame than globalization for the decline of jobs in the region’s manufacturing sector and the gutting of its middle class. Indeed, in his farewell speech to thousands in a packed convention hall in Chicago, President Obama warned: “The next wave of economic dislocations won’t come from overseas. It will come from the relentless pace of automation that makes a lot of good middle-class jobs obsolete.”

Just because you don't understand basic economics and how the market functions doesn't mean your scheme wasn't a government money grab as pointed out by many others.

You are not fulling explaining what's happening this discussion correctly in an attempt to make my point of view look like a socialist money grab from honest hard working business owners.
That taking 30% of something by creating 30% extra something adversely impacts the price of that something.
