One approach gaining support is to slow the displacement of workers with new taxes on AI services and investments. [...] The challenge these proposals aim to address is real — but trying to hold back the tide is the wrong answer.

Quote: "One approach gaining support is to slow the displacement of workers with new taxes on AI services and investments. [...] The challenge these proposals aim to address is real — but trying to hold back the tide is the wrong answer." Attributed to Bloomberg Opinion Editors (2026), against statement #436 ("Governments should tax capital, not labor..."). Checks performed: (1) Year 2026 — recent, OK. (2) Vote alignment — the quote argues taxing AI is "the wrong answer," so an "against" vote on the pro-AI-tax statement is correct. (3) Source — the Bloomberg URL (bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2026-04-29/taxing-artificial-intelligence-would-hurt-innovation-and-prosperity) and its syndicated copies (Advisor Perspectives, West Hawaii Today) all return HTTP 403 Forbidden, so I could not directly fetch the page to confirm the exact wording. Web search corroborates that the article exists (Bloomberg editorial board, published 2026-04-29, anti-AI-tax thesis matching this quote), but because the primary source is paywalled/blocked to automated access I cannot positively confirm the verbatim text. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol for blocked sources.
