Agree with many of your points, but to make the 84+ million families in the US richer by $2.5 million each would require more than 200 trillion dollars. (Current GDP is around $25 trillion.)

Good point, it seems the top 10% owns 100 trillion [1], so spreading that to the remaining 74 million families would only result in a net increase of 1.2 million per family. I must have found an inaccurate source for the previously stated 2.5 million.

Math now corrected, I still want my extra 1.2 million back.
