are making a big deal about donating 6 billion to the "trump accounts" to help 25 million children, if they even actually get that money.
But did you know that if each American worth over $100 billion gave that amount away to each american in a household making less than $100k, then each person would get $8300. And those billionaires would still be billionaires. There are 15 people worth over $100billion. That money should be seized, given to people making less than $100k per year, tax free.
Who couldn't use $8300. It wouldn't make one bit of difference in those billionaires everyday lives. I am not even making them no longer be billionaires.
We are entering a new gilded age. The income disparity is not quite as bad as it was back then, but it is getting close. Making people's lives better with a plan like this will benefit the poor and middle class in this country immensely.
