    No one said it would be 500k in money/cash. It could very well be real estate, gold, shares, bonds, or a mix thereof.

        … Of networth. Given that we’re taking about the wealth of the US, most of which is NOT cash, assuming the post-redistribution would be all in cash is ridiculous.

        You would need some kind of Thanos “money gem” to make that happen. Most of this “wealth” is tied up in a vast network of investments and in other countries and in defense budgets and so on.

        The point is to tell you that you’re owed more for your labor than barely making it each day. If we all worked together and pooled and distributed our efforts, we would have that American Dream of being able to afford a house on a single job before you turn 80.
