Zer0 will not inform the country just how much increased revenue a tax increase would bring. Zer0’s proposal to increase taxes on the rich will generate $700 billion in extra revenue over the next decade, which obviously translates to roughly $70 billion per year—Zer0 drops in the bucket. And, the consequence of such a tax increase would cost in less investments, more tax sheltering and less jobs.

How did we get these bone heads in there pulling the strings of government?

I've see the numbers $40 billion over 10 years.

That's like thinking if you only had an extra 4 bucks, you could make that $400,000 mortgage payment.
