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...

America's billionaires are worth a record $6T. Where does that leave the rest of us?

America’s billionaires are now collectively worth a record $6 trillion. Is that good news, or bad? It depends on whom you ask.

@cjpaloma We support these companies ran by individuals with questionable business practices and expect them to behave when they get insulated and protected with FU money and tremendous influence...we are part of the problem.
