create USA stock.

legislate every american company to issue new shares USA inc. amounting to giving USA a 5% stake in the company (and diluting all of the company's shareholders proportionally).

legislate that every new company formed automatically has USA on its cap table at incorporation (same 5%).

USA stock will be valued far greater than its portfolio's total value. why? because USA stock's value reflects potential of the entire system – basically 5% of all of the future wealth that will be created in the US.

the more the market believes america will rise, the greater USA's valuation will be relative to its portfolio.

now, give every american citizen a stake in USA – giving them a stake in the potential upside of the entire country.

citizens can ofc sell their stake in USA if they want for some serious cash. the choice is theirs. but i'd bet the majority of citizens will hold the majority of their stake because they will bet that it will be worth much more in the future than it is worth today.

universal basic income (UBI) can be problematic because of inflation. this kind of universal basic equity (UBE) is far more robust to inflation because people actually have a strong incentive to hold their stake in USA than cash out (proportional to their belief that we will grow as a nation and that our potential is far greater than our present reality).

you can now eliminate taxes across the board. there is no need for america to wait for people to realize value in order to get access to capital. USA can now just raise a round from citizens / world in the way that a company would. and instead of taking on debt, USA just shares its risk & reward with others. in other words, if USA does not see the growth we expect, USA does now owe anyone anything.

new citizens are issued new shares (diluting everyone else).

this will incentivize having babies because by having children, a family as a unit actually gains wealth because they, as a unit, have a greater stake in the collective upside. and this will create a useful pressure to more carefully vet who we allow to become a naturalized citizen. culture and alignment are everything at the level of teams, companies and certainly at the level of the nation as well (which i think we've forgotten to some degree).

this will get you support from the left: because this is perhaps the most direct way to give everyone a stake in our collective success. and the value of each citizen's stake in USA will rise sharply as we do better collectively (through AI and whatnot).

this will get you support from the right: you have eliminated all taxes on realized value, and most smart people on the right recognize that to maintain any level of social unity given the extreme outcomes AI is on track to creating, you need to share upside more broadly (i.e., why we are starting to see some of the wealthiest people sharing stakes in their companies broadly).

you have like less than a year to draft this really well and make this the platform for your entire campaign. the biggest challenge i think you'll face is education. once you get this idea it's really obvious, but since it involves creating a higher order fiction (USA stock that hold stake in companies, etc.) it will take a lot of time for people to wrap their heads around what this means and its implications.

oh and yea there are a ton of details to figure out here. how much stake should USA get in companies? how much stake should each citizen get? how often should we issue new shares to everyone? etc. these details are pretty important. and it'll take some time to get them right.

initially you'll be hated by both sides. too socialist for the right and too capitalist for the left. and you'll be hated by centrists because you're basically rejecting the entire axis itself. our political system was designed for a zero-sum world in which you have to take from one to give to another. this is a fundamentally more positive-sum perspective.

you'll go down in history really well because you're basically creating the seed for what will become the most positive-sum way of organizing people the world has ever seen.

godspeed.
