Canadian Institute for Prosperity and Well-Being: 100 Year Plan for Canada

The plan in one minute
• No tax on what you earn. Income, corporate, payroll and property taxes shrink by the same step every year from 2027 and are gone by 2046. One consumption tax, shared by all three levels of government, replaces them.
• Immigration capped at 0.1% of the population a year. About 42,000 people a year, counting permanent residents, temporary workers and refugees. Today's intake is many times that.
• The typical household never pays more. The middle-income household never pays more tax than it did in 2026.
• The debt gets paid off. Canada borrows while the switch is under way and pays the debt off by 2110, with no new borrowing after that.
• Government back to its core jobs. Spending falls from 37% of GDP to about 12% by 2046. Government keeps defence, justice, policing and infrastructure.
• More income per person. National income per person reaches about US$102,000 in 2046, against about US$85,000 if nothing changes.

@LordGud here's the plan so far. I'm still tinkering with some things but it's good enough right now. I decided to smooth out the impact to certain demographics to make the plan more appealing. My earlier remarks could be true as well but too many Canadians would lose and get upset. This is a more realistic version that might be sellable to Canadians.

Claude refuses to use anything that doesn't have evidence but there isn't really evidence for what happens to a society run like this because none since the 20th century ever have. Much of the evidence supports much stronger numbers than shown here but Claude caps them because they say no other country has ever seen numbers that good. The full plan shows an optimistic case but I think the optimistic case is not actually overly optimistic in some regards.
