The guy tries to harpoon progressives by saying billionaires (just barely) couldn't fund the US govt for a year, but there's less than 1000 of them! A group of people probably smaller than your high school could fund 80% of the richest country on earth. Is this a good blog?
He's saying that specifically because there are a lot of people who say things to the effect of "if only we taxed the billionaires more, then the rest of us wouldn't have any financial problems".
It's not "any"; it's "fewer". Anyone remember when we blew a hole in the deficit to give them a tax cut? Definitely would help to solve that problem by rolling that one back.
