If the super-rich actually paid what they owe in taxes, the US would have loads more money available for public services
"The Tax Justice Network estimates the global elite are sitting on $2132tn of untaxed assets. Clearly, only a portion of that is owed to the US or any other nation in taxes the highest tax bracket in the US is 39.6% of income. But consider that a small universal income of $2,000 a year to every adult in the US enough to keep some people from missing a mortgage payment or skimping on food or medicine would cost only around $563bn each year.
A larger income, to ensure that no American fell into absolute abject poverty say, $12,000 a year would cost around $3.6tn. ....
What's your opinion?
Bah.
Ridiculous.
Illegal immigrants would simply expand the "lower classes" and absorb any amount of money thrown in that direction.
