Billionaires will have to pay two cents.

She thinks the US has 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 billionaires

Why not? Everyone if Venezuela is a billionaire.

The source I found says 607 billionaires, with the top one being worth 114 billion. Ok, assuming a roughly linear distribution then they average 57 billion each. 607 * 57,000,000,000 * 0.03 gives us roughly 1.04 trillion. Great, but still only a fraction of what her socialist dreams are going to cost.

The other problem is, at an average of 57 billion each, a 3% hit is going to mean taking 1.7 billion from each. Does she really think that with that kind of money at stake they won't find a way to reduce that tax hit? Does she really think they'll just hand over, on average, just under two billion dollars with a smile on their faces?

Very East-German-Wall-ish.
