Could raise a lot more than that

I wonder how much money could be raised without new or raised taxes, but simply by closing tax evasion avoidance loopholes used by rich people and corporations.

tax of 1.7% to 3.5% to the richest 0.5% of the country’s households

We could try something more like a 95% wealth tax and really fix some problems.

how about we just kill the 1000 richest people on earth and take their wealth

That does seem more realistic than them allowing people to take their wealth. I swear they are like dragons - They'll cling to their hoard even if it means their death

Two thousand one hundred… billion.

2.100.000.000.000

By marginally taxing a group of people you could fit on a cruise ship…

Yes yes, true, but then they would have less money. They might even have to rescind their membership of the Three Comma Club, and could you have that on your conscience?
