    The total collected so far is under two hundred billion. We would have gotten more in taxes if we had just taxed the rich and they would have barely noticed it.

      They’d have bitched, then gone back to doing every goddamn thing they did before.

      Nothing impacts the ultra-rich. A fortune to us, it’s nothing to them.
