  3. Saved you an AOL (what? lol) click:

    **”If they divvied up the country’s $160.35 trillion jackpot equally, each would have about $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple. If a couple had two kids, the four of them would be sitting pretty with $1.89 million.”**

  4. EVERY family of four in America would be MILLIONAIRES.

    Yes, America has so much wealth that every family in America would be millionaires. Should I repeat that again? EVERY FAMILY in America would be MILLIONAIRES.

    We have more than enough wealth the balance the budget, care for the needy, and extinguish poverty, homelessness, and help every young person attend higher education but political influences have convinced voters that our country doesn’t have enough money and that we shouldn’t tax the wealthy.

    In America’s economic Golden Age of the 1940-1960’s, the top tax bracket was as high as 90%. Politicians have been lowering the tax rate on the wealthiest Americans ever since.

    Time to make America “great again” by doing what we did decades ago. Bring back the higher tax rates on the wealthy like we did in the 1950’s.

  5. What would happen to society and economy if this did happen? Would most people exit the workforce? Try to leave the country with their windfall?

  7. And yet half the population would be broke as fuck in less than a year. Lmao.

  8. Stop asking these questions dude. Don’t think too hard. Think about more short term things like the latest inconsequential news scandal. Don’t organize, don’t unionize don’t think, just consume. /S

  9. America would never do that because the reality is there are too many minorities in America that would benefit and too many people feel as though those minorities who have been a victim of prior oppression that affect their descendants are owed nothing.
