Bill Gates Proposes ‘Human Reserved’ Jobs and AI Token Tax to Offset Labor Crisis

Bill Gates proposes 'Human Reserved' jobs and taxing AI tokens to offset impending economic turbulence. The U.S. Treasury noted more than half of federal revenue in 2025 and 2026 came from individual income taxes. Entry-level jobs have fallen significantly, making it harder for recent graduates to gain necessary experience. The current tax setup encourages executives to replace people with robots as tax-deductible expenses. "The people who need the most time are the ones who have the least — the accounting worker who’s replaced by a bot or the $20-an-hour worker who loses their job to a $10-an-hour robot." — Bill Gates. If the architect of modern enterprise computing is suddenly suggesting governments treat human labor like a protected nature preserve, the immediate economic threat of automation is far worse than the industry admits.
