GDP equals spending (Demand Side);
=> 23% spending by Governments, the revenue for which was
    > Personal Income Tax 46.4%,
    > Non-Resident Income Tax: 2.9% ($258.3Bn total)
    > Corporate Income Tax: 21.0%, ($110.04Bn)
    > Other: (GST, energy taxes, etc.) 29.5%. ($154.6Bn)
    =>>Federal revenue (Google AI): $396Bn. Provincial totals: $127.9Bn. We will use the numbers above.
=> 77% requiring capital: ($20,200Bn) more
    >55% of the GDP was consumption & debt
    =>>Shelter accounted for 32.1% ($396Bn) and food 15.7% ($192Bn) of consumption.
    =>>Household mortgages are a large portion of debt.
    =>>The total value of Canada's housing assets was $4200 Bn in 2024, so the equivalent of rent would be .396/4.2 or 9.4%/yr.
    =>>~1/3 of households (~5 million) rent their homes.
    =>>Household debt was 176.4% of disposable (gross-tax) income. This ratio is similar over income levels, and the average rate was 4.2% more than the Key Rate below.
    >and 21% was investment
    =>> Households saved approximately $3785 each: 3.8% of GDP, totaling $85.2 billion.
    =>>Savings are what is left over after Consumption, Interest and Taxes; and
    =>>by the Savings Identity, it is part of overall Investment of 21% of GDP.
    >and 1% net exports.
-----------------------------------------
GDP also equals income (Supply Side):
    > distributed over 31.814 million tax returns (22.5 million households).
    >Corporate Income comes from Consumer spending
    =>>Part of it is diverted into Savings/Investment, but much of the $20,200Bn investment is financed by debt.
    > Average Individual Gross Income: $70.4k from $Bn 2241 GDP/ 31.8 million tax returns.

Traditional Econ 101 courses would say there are three inputs to the production/Supply side of the equilibrium between Supply and demand. Land is the first one, and it includes resources such as oil/gas or metallic ores. Some people would include buildings on land.

This model examines only:

1. shift of capital to UBI,
2. taxation and
3. the Key Interest Rate.

Thus we will not include a slider for Land.

The other two inputs are Labor and Capital. Recently, part of labor is split out as Entrepreneurship. Below is a separate slider for you to adjust.

Capital means goods and services which are produced for making the things consumers eventually buy. Included would be machinery/buildings, intellectual property and inventory.

We focus on UBI, Taxation and Key Rates but in addition the slider below lets you look at the impact of governments making direct investments voters want but private investors do not deem profitable.

Select the percentage of Government spending that you will allocate to investment/Supply side.

Labor includes services like retail, education and accounting etc. However, these activities may result in "bright ideas" that boost the effect of capital and labor.

We make the assumption that the top two deciles have the majority of these ideas, and with the slider below you may specify a %/% Multiple of wages paid to them that accrues to the Supply side of GPI.
