I did some figuring the other day. The 400 billionaires in the US have a net worth of $1.3 trillion. There are 3,000,000 millionaires. Assume each has $1,000,000 in net worth. Additionally there are 30,000 people worth over $30 million. Assuming the loser took all their net worth (putting millions of people employed by these people out of work) he would only get about $2 trillion.

Which is the whole fallacy of this taxing the rich nonsense. Taking everything would still not be enough to pay the bills the left racks up.
