AI is displacing workers faster than our safety net can handle. People need income to survive, and when millions lose jobs without a transition plan, they turn to social services that depend on a tax base that's shrinking. This cycle leads to collapse, not progress. I need you to support legislation that taxes every execution of hosted-as-a-service AI and directs that revenue into a fund specifically for workers displaced by automation. This wasn't the deal we were promised. AI was supposed to augment human work, not eliminate it wholesale. The technology exists whether we like it or not, but we can choose how to manage its impact. A tax on AI services creates a direct link between the technology causing displacement and the resources needed to support those it affects. Companies profiting from automation should contribute to the transition costs their tools create. We can build an AI-augmented society responsibly, but only if we create the financial infrastructure first. Removing millions from the workforce without a war chest backing a general safety net is reckless. This tax isn't about stopping progress. It's about ensuring that progress doesn't leave half the country behind while a handful of companies capture all the gains.
