If you took everyone with >100M in net worth, put them up against the wall, and seized every dime they own, you'd get ~30T (in a best-case scenario). Even if you used it to pay off the debt, we'd still be running trillion-dollar deficits every year.

If our debt and deficits are a revenue problem, they are objectively insoluble.
