This is not something that I suggest or in anyway think it's ethical. I was just talking with some friends today about the growing divide between the most wealthy Americans and the lower and middle class. This suggestion is unconstitutional and wrong, but do you think it would work?
If the Government seized a large chunk of money and assets from the richest Americans and used it to pay off debts, would it increase the value of the dollar and lower inflation? Assuming this isn't a wealth redistribution and just a straight tool to pay off the national debt, would your average American see a large change in their quality of life?
