US billionaires are worth about 6 Trillion bucks.

Simply taking away 3.5% of the net wealth of these 800 people in the form of a wealth tax would leave these poor "victimized" rich folks

with a whooping 5.79 TRILLION dollars (which divided by 800 still leaves them with a 7.2 bn average net wealth)

but it would add 210 BN which COULD fund needed stuff...
