If they took all the money of everyone who earns more than $200,000 a year in the US it would make, at most, a small dent in the US debt because at the present the US debt is somewhere in the area of 14 trillion, that’s 14 thousand billion, dollars. Even taking everything, that is the entire gross domestic product of the United States for one year, in taxes would barely cover it.
Blame is irrelevant. We have to seriously ask what we want government to do and make drastic cuts in our spending to keep things afloat. Adding MORE debt is like giving a drunk another bottle in the hope they may some day sober up.
