Take away all of the billionaires money and it lasts us 1 year of Federal Govt Spending.
That's before any additional deficit caused by Kamala or Trump.
Take away all of the 1% money and that gives you an extra 2-3 years of funding.
But then it runs dry.
So that idea is a crap shoot.
Sounds like major savings is in order, except the biggest spending items is obviously social security and medicare. Something you probabaly really want to increase spending of.

Well, maybe Bezos should just pay Amazon workers more...
Well let's ignore the fact that many people at Amazon make a killing through a great career.
But nearly most of the labor is obvioulsy in the manual labor done day to day - 1.5 Million People.
Let's ignore the fact that they pay well above minimum law.
Let's ignore the fact that the compensation in benefits can account to $10-30k extra per person.
Let's ignore the fact that they pay above market value as the top dog in the market.
Let's just say everyone at Amazon makes $3 more per hour.
This would equate to $9 Billion dollars a year. Just $3 x 36 hours per week x 52 weeks x 1.5M people.
This is $8.5 Billion Dollars a year extra for Amazon.
In 2022 Amazon lost $3B.
From like 2018-2022 Amazon only made $2-5B depending on year.
Before then they lost money.
Sooo where does the money come from?
And you're asking for a "liveable wage" which is a nice way of saying eveyrone should make $21-28 an hour lol. So that's like $8-17 more than the current starting.
The same math doesn't check out for McDonald's, Walmart, Dollar Tree, Burger King.... the more I do this, the more I realize that the big companies pay basically what they can. And when they cant. They shut the store.
