"Bill Gates says everyone needs to prepare to be out of work in 20 years due to Robots/software taking over most jobs. In preparation for this, Gates recommends people 'should basically get on their knees and beg businesses to keep employing humans' and reduce operating overhead for businesses by 'eliminating payroll and corporate income taxes while also not raising the minimum wage'. Bill Gates, you may recall, is the former CEO of Microsoft whose business acumen has brought the technology sector such things as Metro, Windows Phone and Xbox One.
BusinessInsider took a similar theme earlier this year."

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Let's just consider the "Road Ahead". Gates is an imbecile, a college drop-out, and the richest man in the world, by latest accounts. What does all this tell us? Cut taxes? I say we tax the crap out of speculative investors in tech. I want payback for every blue screen of death that I experienced before switching to Linux circa 1995. I want emotional damages for my mother worrying that her computer had performed an illegal function! This man is completely off his rocker, trying to destroy education in America (see: college drop-out) and the only reason he does any charity is because it is the bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And for anyone interested, check out Karl Marx on the increase in capitalization. Does not end well.
