A pro-growth, pro-family, pro-entrepreneur tax plan that keeps the AI economy broadly owned — and therefore politically and socially sustainable. This is a Nextbigfuture, Brian Wang proposal for broadening AI participation.

The strategic bet, you don’t beat the appeal of confiscatory, anti-market politics by arguing against it. You beat it by giving the people most drawn to it — young workers, young families, and small-business owners — a direct, felt stake in the AI boom’s upside. An AI economy owned by a handful of firms is fragile but broad participation is what keeps it durable.

The Five Pillars
Pillar 01 — Keep your check
Young Worker Exemption

No federal income tax for anyone earning under ~$100k, and none for anyone under 35 earning under ~$500k. Payroll taxes stay, preserving the Social Security and Medicare earned-benefit link. This targets the exact cohorts — under-35s and lower-and-middle earners — where support for expansive-government alternatives runs highest.

Pillar 02 — Have the kids
Pro-Family Stack

A refundable Birth Allowance — roughly $6,000 in year one and $3,000/yr through age five, paid as cash so parents who now owe no income tax still receive it — plus a marriage-neutral design and tax-free First-Home savings accounts for under-35s.

Pillar 03 — Make room
Housing Unlock

Pair the cash with the real gate on family formation: housing supply. A federal permitting and infrastructure bonus rewards states that legalize more homes near jobs. In surveys, affordability — not desire — is the dominant barrier to having children.

Pillar 04 — Found it here
Entrepreneur Runway

A young founder drawing a salary under $500k already owes zero income tax under Pillar 01 — the headline founder subsidy. Layer on a 100% capital-gains exclusion on qualified startup equity, a 180-day angel-reinvestment rollover, and permanent R&D/software and equipment expensing (building on the 2025 §174A and bonus-depreciation baseline).

Pillar 05 — Adopt it fast
Main-Street AI Adoption

A capped AI Adoption Allowance lets small and mid-size firms fully expense AI tools, integration, and worker retraining, backed by SBIR-style compute vouchers, a light-touch startup sandbox, and one-day business formation — putting AI productivity in the hands of the local clinic, contractor, and accountant, not only the hyperscalers

A temporary, capped AI Adoption Allowance — small and mid-size firms fully and immediately expense AI software, integration, and employee-retraining costs, plus a time-limited credit (30% up to a per-firm cap) for first-time adoption. This reaches the local accountant, contractor, and clinic — the small-business owners who both vote and employ, and who otherwise watch productivity gains accrue only to big tech.
