It would make a dent. Their combined wealth was 1.2 trillion.

The national deficit is just above 13 or so. Not a lot but...a dent.

Marcus. How thought provoking.

Guess it's time for me to start a charity. Hrmm....maybe a Charity to help all the reeruns on ChiefsPlanet? What should I name it though?

small dent. not even 10% of the federal deficit. to me, that's not even ****ing close (when you're talking about that much money)

My conspiracy theorist side is in panic mode right now. Why would rich people give away their money unless they know shit's about to go tits up in a hurry?

Guilt...

Pointless.

Me and Goat-****er would get all the money...

Well, if they died and hadn't done it the government would be getting most of it. So decide for yourself who deserves it less.

"Sir, would you prefer to dip your testicles in acid or a wood-fired oven?...."

Holy shit, America has 400 billionaires? Doesn't that seem like a lot? There are 400 Scrooge McDucks out there, swimming in gold coins. Nice that 40 of them are giving back in a big way, though.
