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
If the government wrote checks to everyone it would be about $14K per.

The parasitic rich do not need to cover the whole tab, just their fair share. Climbing out of the republican malaise can be an incremental process that harms nobody if we are all willing to pitch in.

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!

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.

True, the biggest news from what Red posted was the drastic reduction in the national debt! Another great job by Biden!

Yep, that is a total of 57.6 billion dollars. 2% of the billionaires wealth would be 94 billion. More than enough!

Santa Monica has just announced that the United States Post Office will no longer be delivering mail to certain locations in Santa Monica because of crime.

Also, not long ago, Santa Monica was rated as one of the most unsafe cities in California.

Santa Monica is a great and beautiful city, and Spielberg lives in Santa Monica. People need to take action. I have helped to clean up bad areas before, and I know what Santa Monica needs to do.

Here in Anaheim we had an area that was the worst neighborhood in Anaheim, so when I was in Kiwanis we worked together with the neighborhood to help to clean it up. Me and the other members of Kiwanis went into the worst neighborhood in Anaheim and we went knocking on doors, and we invited the people to come out to help us paint over the graffiti and clean up the neighborhood and we passed out the telephone numbers and the contact information for all of the owners of the apartment complexes in the area, etc, and it worked. We got together with the neighborhood and we cleaned it up and that area is still nice, to this day that neighborhood is still nice. We did not accept allowing neighborhoods in our city to become bad and dangerous, so we went into the neighborhood and we knocked on doors, and that is what they need to do in Santa Monica.

The Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica needs to organize an event like we did when the members of Kiwanis can go knock on doors in the bad part of Santa Monica and they can bring the people out to organize the community to work together as a team to clean up Santa Monica and to keep it nice, and Kiwanis can pass out the contact information for all of the owners of the apartment complexes, etc. The Kiwanis Club in Anaheim knows how to save neighborhoods, and the Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica can do the same thing.

And going in with Kiwanis and cleaning up a neighborhood does not cost any money, the members of Kiwanis are all volunteers who just want to help to make our world a better place. Going in and cleaning up a neighborhood with Kiwanis is free.

It is time to clean up Santa Monica, Santa Monica is a great place and it needs to be cleaned up, and Kiwanis can help to clean up Santa Monica for free, it is just all about bringing the people together and cleaning the area up and making it nice. We did it here in Anaheim, and Santa Monica can do it too.

Salute,

Tony V.

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.
