What if we taxed robots and AI agents so everyone shared in the rewards? What exactly would that look like?
Imagine an AI Dividend: 10% of every sale goes to the Dividend Fund, which pays every adult each month.
Follow one dividend through January in a story starring animals, robots, and AI agents.
Each paid job lights up as the money passes through. You end the month with a working furnace. Everyone downstream gets something too.
Without the dividend, none of this happens:
The dividend repays itself only if money keeps moving. Money that goes to paying down debt, extra savings, imports, or the sock drawer stops circulating, and never reaches the next tax. Drag the sliders to see what each leak costs.
