How Bill Gates' plan to tax robots could actually happen

I think I figured out where the argument about taxes getting passed though businesses to employees and consumers fails.

while that's true that non-monopolistic businesses will pass any taxes onto consumers through high prices using supply and demand curves as proof, the same models also prove business won't maintain profits for long which is obviously not reality.

So, if they are profitable they must having some kind of monopolistic component to them. Which could be taxed because they are benefiting from a government or market inefficiency.
