[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10,000 children worldwide starve to death every single day.

Why do we allow that to happen? We have plenty of food.

Why are we letting 10,000 children per day starve to death?[/quote]

Sounds like we need a federal agency tasked with providing AID around the world. . .maybe it could be called USAID or something clever like that. . .oh. . .wait. . .[/quote]

No.  For the same reason, this child and her family need to leave; the US is not responsible for feeding, vaccinating, and providing for every needy person and country in the world.

We are in debt to our eyeballs and cannot afford to take any more strays.  [/quote]

This is not the royal we

We don’t need to have a stick up our butt simply because the U.S policy is to let uber wealthy not pay their fair share for the resources they get from the country.

There would be no debt

But I know you are not wealthy because you quoted that. That’s the pablum they give plus to explain why we don't get anything while they sacrifice nothing [/quote]

As of early 2025, the United States is home to 813 billionaires. Their combined wealth was estimated at $6.72 trillion.

In March 2025, the U.S. government debt stood at $36.21 trillion.

So even if we took every dollar from every billionaire in the United States, the national debt would still be over $29 trillion dollars.

And if you included centi-millionaires, then you would have a lot more than 813 people in that pool.

You certainly would take all their wealth!

But a modest tax that makes a modest reduction in the debt matters:  If we reduce our debt by even 5%, that's that much less debt we need to keep servicing and rolling over.[/quote]

America’s millionaire population grew 7.3% in 2023 to 7.43 million people, according to a report from Capgemini.

Their combined fortunes grew to $26.1 trillion, up 7% from 2022. Capgemini defines millionaires as those with investible assets of $1 million or more not including primary residence, collectibles or consumer durables.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/07/us-millionaire-population.html#:~:text=Digitalvision%20%7C%20Getty%20Images-,The%20U.S.%20far%20outpaced%20the%20rest%20of%20the%20world%20in,wealth%20even%20among%20the%20wealthy.

So after we take every dollar from billionaires in the US, we will take every dollar from millionaires.

Our current debt after confiscation of the wealth and assets of trillionaires is over $29 trillion.

We will now take every dollar and asset from every US millionaire.

Approximately $26.1 trillion, so US debt is still approximately $3.39 trillion.

That $3.39 trillion is debt we have after confiscating of every dollar every American trillionaire and millionaire has and paying the US government debt.

Where will we get an additional $3.39 trillion to pay the current debt?[/quote]
