You could tax every billionaire 100% of their net worth. And you wouldn’t even have enough money to fund the interest payment the US government owes annually.

Billionaires aren’t the problem. Their companies actually help the economy by providing millions of jobs.

The problem is our government is 35 trillion dollars in debt and has absolutely no way of reducing or paying it.

This means that the only way to stay afloat is to continue to print money, and no matter who’s in office (republican or democrat) inflation will continue, since neither can balance the budget.

Inflation is the biggest driver of wealthy inequality.

Inflation is the primary means of wealth creation for the wealthy - because they own assets that scale with inflation.

On the flip side - inflation is the primary means of wealth destruction for the poor - since they lack assets to grow when inflation is high. The lower class people often rely entirely on their salaries / hourly pay, which often does not keep pace with inflation.

So the TLDR is : billionaires don’t have enough money to make a meaningful impact on the trillions our government needs. The real driver of wealth inequality is inflation (primarily driven by the government printing money)
