@hellomiakoda here's one good way to visualize the size of the problem. Take all the billionaires who steal from us and our children and stack them end to end at the bottom of the ocean...

That's it. That's the entire idea. Drown the billionaires. Do it tomorrow.

@Lana Honestly, a majority (according to the US voting system) voted for just such a policy. Nobody can claim they were surprised or duped by Trump
