I can't remember the source (I think it was on the ABC (Aust)) but the net worth of US citizens is over 60 trillion.
The defecit is 15 trillion, or so.
So - define that group of Americans who have half of the wealth. It is probably about 10%, maybe more or less. Sieze half of the wealth of this group, and the deficit is gone.
Not that I'm advocating that, but since you asked, I thought the numbers should be discussed. It could be done.
There's your class warfare for you. Except in real class warfare, we'd take ALL their money and shoot them to boot.
