A comprehensive framework for transitioning humanity from zero-sum to positive-sum economics—implemented through a Six State Alliance proving ground
The floor humanity needs to sustain into the twenty-second century
Accountable Infinite Prosperity (AIP) is a system to evolve humanity to positive-sum economics, allowing true Freedom, Security, and Peace through personal and corporate accountability. It provides self-funding health, education, and retirement; achieves peace without military force; and produces the highest number of innovative, problem-solving consumers while delivering maximum corporate profits with minimum tax burden—giving humanity its best chance at sustainability and elevation to Type I civilization.
AIP rejects the language of "free" programs. Nothing is free—everything is paid by GRT (Gross Receipts Tax). This transparency creates accountability: citizens know exactly what services cost and how they're funded. No hidden deficits. No intergenerational theft. Just clear, honest accounting.
| Dimension | Traditional Left | Traditional Right | AIP Framework |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxes | Higher income taxes | Lower income taxes | No income tax—GRT only |
| Healthcare | Government-run | Market-based | Universal, paid by GRT |
| Retirement | Expand Social Security | Privatize accounts | Stability Accounts—personal ownership |
| Spending | Deficit-funded | Cut programs | Balanced budget—constitutional |
| Business | Regulate heavily | Deregulate | Accountability mechanisms |
Everything AIP provides flows from these core principles
Economic independence through Stability Accounts. No one dependent on employers for healthcare. No student debt trapping graduates. True freedom to pursue your potential.
Universal healthcare eliminates medical bankruptcy. Lifetime education adapts to economic change. Retirement guaranteed through personal accounts. The floor beneath which no one falls.
Prosperity at source reduces migration pressure. Alliance economics replace military competition. When everyone wins, conflict becomes irrational. Peace through abundance, not force.
Six integrated systems that work together
Replaces all income taxes with a simple point-of-sale transaction tax. Collected automatically. No filing. No evasion.
Coverage for all residents. Zero copays. Zero deductibles. Zero medical bankruptcies. Paid by GRT, not employers.
Universal Pre-K through community college. Vocational training. Lifelong reskilling. No student debt.
Personal investment accounts seeded at birth. Compound growth over 65 years. You own it. Government can't touch it.
Affordability zones with streamlined development. Infrastructure investment unlocks supply. Market-based, not subsidized.
Desalination + R&D to solve the Colorado River crisis. Transforms liability into asset through technology investment.
AIP works because it enforces accountability at every level
A regional proving ground for national transformation
Federal change requires 60 Senate votes—nearly impossible in polarized times. But states can act independently. Six western states facing shared water crisis have incentive to cooperate. Success at state level creates irresistible pressure for federal adoption. Bottom-up transformation, not top-down imposition.
The Six State Alliance begins with water infrastructure—a shared crisis that transcends political division. Desalination plants paired with battery R&D can transform a $173B liability into a $305B surplus that funds the entire AIP framework.

Year 1: "Small GRT solves water crisis—everyone benefits."
Year 15: "Technology breakthrough—we're generating energy while making water."
Year 20: "GRT eliminated—water and energy paid by innovation, not taxes."
Year 30: "Six states prove AIP works. Time for the rest of America."
AIP isn't utopia. It's the minimum viable system for a sustainable future—proven at state level, ready for national scale. The question isn't whether we can afford to try. It's whether we can afford not to.
Build sustainability, not escape pods.
