@danielsgoldman Standing up for illegal immigrants seems to be the best and only move the modern democrat has to try and connect with Americans. I’ll give them credit for sticking to it as it’s completely failing before their eyes,
Let's run a little experiment together.
First, let's agree on the math:
- There are about 900 Billionaires in the US with a combined net worth of $3.2 Trillion.
- There are 3.8 Million K-12 Public School teachers in the US.
- There are 100 Million Americans on some sort of federal assistance.
Let's start with teachers. How much of an increase to the average American K-12 teacher equals "playing teachers what they're worth"?
$1,000 a year bump is too low.
$10,000? Maybe. That's like $650 more a month. Not life changing but not nothing. But probably still not "what they're worth" so let's go much higher.
$50,000 a year? That pushes them into a new tax bracket but it's still likely an additional $2,500 a month on their pockets.
Now we're talking.
That's $190,000,000,000 a year. Assuming we give teachers a 3% raise every year to keep up with inflation, and that we don't hire any more teachers, we run out of billionaire wealth in year 15.
But we haven't yet touched the 100 Million Americans on federal assistance, healthcare, or childcare.
So let's hold some of that back for them.
Let's say we only fund those teachers with Billionaire wealth for 10 years, or $2.17 Trillion. We still have $1.03 Trillion for those other causes.
Let's start with childcare. There are 4.2M children in America today with inadequate child care because their families are at or below the poverty line and their parents have to work and can't afford child care.
The data says the very low end of childcare in this country costs $1,200 a month, so we'll use that. That works out to $60.48 Billion per year. Okay cool so we can fund that for 10 years at a cost of just under $605B from that $1.03T we had left after paying teachers "what they're worth"
Oh, but we still have federal assistance, and healthcare, and now we only have about $400B left.
We said earlier we have 100M Americans on federal assistance. Let's assume all of them need healthcare assistance too.
We also said we have $400B left. If we equally disperse that $400B across 100M Americans over 10 years to assist in Healthcare that comes out to... $33 a month in additional healthcare assistance.
Well that won't work. But that's all we have left.
And then in 10 years we're completely out of Billionaire money and the massive teachers raises, the free childcare, and the paltry healthcare assistance runs out of funding.
...And America's economy collapses because we took the richest, most innovative, biggest job creating captains of industry, and made them penniless.
Platner is insane.
