It also clearly shows that the number of "these people" is not large enough to have a significant effect without reducing the gov't outlays. The big three MUST be back on the table. Starting with the military. There is no other way around it.

Right.
My current biggest facepalming o you idiot comes from those that say, correctly, and as you say, correctly, that taking 50% of of the income of these richest people would reduce the debt by .5%, trivial, insignificant, not worthwhile (so leave us/them alone). O you liar.
Even though that's true, no one's saying to steal their moneys and all will be well. We are not trying to balance the budget and retire the debt (PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT BUT RELATED, NOT THE SAME ISSUES) with one check. Or in one year. Come on people.
The entire US economy isn't enough to retire the debt in one year. This will take time people. Arrrgh.
