Forbes has published its annual list of the richest people in the world.
America still leads the world, with 735 billionaires worth a collective $4.7 trillion, including Elon Musk, who tops the World Billionaires list for the first time. China (including Macau and Hong Kong) remains number two, with 607 billionaires worth a collective $2.3 trillion.

So what if we consumed all of the wealth of the USBillionaires, what would it pay for?

Well.
Build Back Better has a price tag of $4.6B over 10 years( Actual Cost, not the lies Biden spread)
Medicare for All costs  $33B over a decade
The national debt is $20 B
2% of the wealth of US billionaires alone would cover every thing you have listed, plus 40 billion to spare! Fantastic idea, Red! Thanks for the policy suggestion!
Quote
If the government wrote checks to everyone it would be about $14K per.

But the biggest lesson to learn, pointed out by the Wall Street Journal, is that the USA IRS
Tax rate defining the rich starts at 9 times the annual American salary of $ 52k or about $ 450k
The IRS doe snot define rich. It sets a top marginal rate. "Rich" is a relative term, like vice, or North:

Ask where's the North? at York, 'tis on the Tweed;
In Scotland, at the Orcades; and there,
At Greenland, Zembla, or the Lord knows where...

Quote
In such idyllic welfare states (according to democrats) of, say  Sweden or Denmark, where the average salary is about $38K USD, the annual wage defining rich is around $42K.
The biggest lesson from that is that the US has a higher income.for its top marginal rate? Really? I would suggest that the biggest take away from those numbers is how relatively small a bite from the vast accumulated wealth of a few it would take to pay for the needs of the many.
No, the lesson to be learned is the USA cannot pay for what the democrat/socialists want without gouging us all.

"Build Back Better has a price tag of $4.6B over 10 years( Actual Cost, not the lies Biden spread)
Medicare for All costs  $33B over a decade

Nah, not gouging us all in the slightest.
Yep, that is a total of 57.6 billion dollars. 2% of the billionaires wealth would be 94 billion. More than enough!
Nice edit.
Did you think no one would notice?

I posted at 2:23pm.

You fixed your post at 2:44pm.

You are such a fucking liar - it goes beyond your inability to admit a mistake at this point to your accusing others of making edits when YOU DID IT, you fucking asshole.

Lie, deny, and obfuscate, same as always. Only worse.

The time stamp of your edit from billion to trillion at 2:44 est is plain for all to see and your unedited post has been posted in four other quotes you lying sack of shit. Everyone can see you are the one who made the edit and are gaslighting about it to, save face i guess, though everyone here knows exactly what you have done.  But typical: you CANNOT EVEN ADMIT AN HONEST MISTAKE. You Cartoonishly Partisan Hack, that is one reason literally no one takes you seriously on this board.
Nice try.

Admit that you edited your post after I put in mine or take a time out for a week.

The lead poisoning and Syphilis driven mistakes aside, the sheer stupidness of Reds main argument shines as a gaudy beacon of dumb even with his numbers corrected.

His argument is that government is expensive therefore the unquestionably rich should not have to do their share paying for it. There is no more to it. It is just that dumb. That is what he sells out the USA for. His big idea.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 55% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the problem of illegal immigration is getting worse. Only 14% think the illegal immigration problem is getting better, while 27% think the problem is staying about the same.

That is a pretty good argument for universal unionization.

Let me say it slowly for my Democratic friends in Washington, D.C.:

Black voters are more conservative than you are

White woke leaders in Washington, D.C. Hispanic voters are more conservative than you are,

White woke leaders in Washington, D.C., Asian-American voters are more conservative than you are

1) When you post in the wrong place, while it is appreciated that you repost in the correct place, you should delete the erroneous post, not leave it for me to do.

2) The same is true when you inadvertently post the same thing consecutively. Delete one of them.

3) If the repeat was not a mistake in your opinion, you are wrong. Delete it even if you meant to post it twice.

And lastly, are you ready to admit that you lied about my having edited your post that you fixed after I had posted?
