Actually, I did a bit of digging. I found this article:
Number Of U.S. Millionaires Soared In 2009: Spectrem Group
If we go by the 2009 figures and up the ante and assume that those who are supposedly "ultra rich" have not just 5 million dollars net worth but we arbitrarily say they have 20 million dollars each (on average), then assuming the 2009 figures of 980,000 such individuals (or families) rounded off, we can call that a million. So that's 1 million times 20 million. That comes to $20,000,000,000,000.oo
TWENTY TRILLION dollars.
WOOT. I was wrong. Therefore we must take EVERY cent from every ultra rich person to PAY OFF our current national debt.
Surely we will NEVER "do that again" and permit ourselves to come this close to bankruptcy by such massive deficit spending!
WOOT.
Problem SOLVED.
The uber lib Democratics were right all along.
