raising tax rates on millionaires could raise $60 billion to $80 billion a year in revenue.

Ok, that should pay off our $14,000,000,000,000 in 233 years. If there's no inflation, if the economy doesn't implode and if you figure out how to live for 233 years.

By my rough calculations, an additional $80 billion would not cover even one day of Federal spending at current spending rates. But it then takes $80 billion out of the productive economy.
