    I’d be fine with this, as long as the rich were properly dealt with, first and foremost.

    And I mean all of them. The Waltons? Nearly all the money they’ve made should go toward the national debt.

    The Sacklers? All of their money to the debt, all of them imprisoned for what they’ve done.

    And so on down the list, it would leave many of those families completely destitute and nearly destroyed, and then we can start cutting from the actual innocent people in the country who haven’t, y’know, tried to destroy it for their own personal gain.
