If we peel about 50 billionaires and their families we could make every single American a multi-millionaire. I bet it would put a dent in wage theft, too. Scare the piss out of middle managers so hard they prolapse their ureters.

That's not correct.

The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person

Could still be correct, average is heavily skewed by the millionaires/billionaires.

No. No way. A million a person would mean $325 ish TRILLION for just the US. I think that's around half the global wealth?

The median income is supposedly around 64k, which already paints a different picture.
