There are around 85 thousand rapes a year, more than double the rate of the second nation in that category.

There are more people jailed than next 5 nations combined, there are people dying from lack of insurance or healthcare, there are people who die in overseas wars, there are over 20 million people who can't read, there are gun violence almost everywhere and more school shootings than rest of the world combined, there are neo nazi groups and there are police killing innocent people at least once a month (usually more frequently on average) 70% of the population is overweight, nearly half a million homeless people, over 40 million alcoholics, over 40 million people who are in poverty (according to poverty guidelines made by government, this number is a lot more according to other nations standards of poverty) and there are so many undereducated kids in schools that the fact that some of those kids won't be given lunch for not having money means there are kids who go all day at school without eating is a second issue to lack of quality in education. There are 724 billionaires who worth 4.4 trillion combined as well. This is United States of America.

OK.. no need to write an essay. Let me summarize it - the billionaires in the United States own $4.4 trillion in wealth. The socialists want all that wealth to be seized and redistributed to the "poor" people. If you are living in a socialist utopia, then this is the perfect plan. But think for a moment for how long this $4.4 trillion is going to last. As per your own calculation, there are 40 million poor. Divide this $4.4 trillion by 40 million, and you will get $110,000. Now this may be enough for the poor to love comfortably for 2-3 years. After that, what you will do? Billionaires are gone. So you are going to target the millionaires? The cycle will go on until no rich people are left. Then what? From where you will steal once the rich people are gone?
