Thought Experiment: Let's say we eventually have a super robot, which can build other robots which can produce all the goods and services the humanity can consume sustainably.
Now, You(Government representing the people) can print money and give it to all of humanity to buy the goods and services from this Super Robot. At the end of the year, this 'super robot' (or the owner of the super robot) will have all the money that is printed.
Next year, you can
a) Print a fresh set of money and distribute, leading to this super robot accumulating all the money (but really who cares, you can make laws that limit how much non-renewable assets a single person or robot can own)
b) Tax this 'super robot' 99.9999% and redistribute it again.
Repeat (a) or (b) forever
