> If every billionaire gave away every cent of their wealth it would fund the federal government for 1 year. do a web search!!
I think you and I see "less than 1,000 people have enough wealth to run the common good for a very rich country of 340,000,000 people for a full year" as having vastly different meaning in terms of what's reasonable. Why should the yearly common good spending of 340,000,000 people inherently be a lot less than the amount the top 1000 are worth?
Focusing on billionaires and ignoring govt inflating the currency is like focusing on a paper cut when theres a gunshot wound.
This is just jumping between fiscal topics as if they inherently support one view or the other by name.
I think any patient will get mad if a doctor started treating their athletes foot instead of their gunshot wound.
