6. Where the Money Comes From

Today, the capital-labor contract pays out $12 to $14 trillion in aggregate US total compensation every year—wages, benefits, payroll taxes, equity. As AI displaces that labor at scale, those trillions don't vanish. They transform into corporate productivity gains and profit. The Human Credit System channels that windfall into shared abundance—ensuring the wealth AI creates flows to everyone, not just the shareholders who own the machines.

This is the Abundance Delta: the gap between what AI saves corporations and what it costs to support every American. That gap is not only positive—it's enormous.

Rigorous economic modeling by qualified economists is needed to validate the numbers. We invite economists, think tanks, and policy researchers to apply rigor to these assumptions.
