If 250 thousand people pay 5 million dollars for the "Gold Card" that comes out to 6 trillion, 250 billion dollars. (6,250,000,000,000) Maybe that will help a little with the deficit?

[escapefromboston]

As long as they aren’t Muslim or hindu this is a good idea .

[ConservativeMind]

What percent is Muslim?

[calljack]

i have a problem with your math. a million people paying 5 million is 5 trillion. your math is incorrect

[Republican Wildcat]

That would lower the debt as well as the debt service (which takes up a massive portion of the budget every year) - keeping the payments to the debt service the same would result in further reductions in the debt and then also further reductions in the debt service. Sort of the Dave Ramsey “snowballing” debt reduction effect.

I am behind apparently. Whats a Trump Gold Card?

[Owen]

Do these folks become subject to US income taxes?

[calljack]

I would like to see a requirement that these people open a business employing 10-50 people. that 50-250 million jobs. that works

[ncfool]

So the $5 million would go directly into deficit reduction?
Would they also then be eligible for Social Security benefits or would that?

[Enterprise]

Poster calljack is correct. The actual figure would be 1,250,000,000,000. My apologies.

[irish guard]

I think the number is $1,250,000,000

[ncfool]

What is the Trump platinum card? Is it $25 million per person?

[irish guard]

Ha. I left off three zeros. $1,250,000,000,000

[FamiliarFace]

Don’t forget cartel bosses.

I think I’m not very keen on this idea.

[Republican Wildcat]

Well every little bit counts.

That was more than the entire debt as recently as the 80s.

[bigbob]

I have a feeling Howard has had this idea in mind for a while...a nice thing to bring to the party

[Enterprise]

There’s not enough information in the short interview to answer your questions. Sorry. See post #10 for update.

Do these folks become subject to US income taxes?

A) Yes, but keep quiet about that or nobody will apply.

B) Yes, but be serious. They don't even pay taxes in their own countries.

[mmichaels1970]

I’m getting 1.25 tril on that. A trillion is a million million or a thousand billion.

[bigbob]

Not all are business people. Some are doctors, bankers, venture capitalists, etc.
