Ah, yes, another person who can’t understand large numbers.
The combined net worth of all billionaires in the US is around $6T. That would only fund the federal government (not state and locals, just the federal government) for about 18 months. And you could only tax that once. And that’s just current spending, it doesn’t address the $37T debt.
It’s not a matter of revenue.
