personally i'd be ok starting with a 10% haircut. that leaves a cool nearly-$8T with its "rightful" (hah) owners, and would be a token step forward towards returning the assets gained from monopolistic, exploitative, and rent-seeking treatment of those without capital. no need to play the "good" zillionaire card - i'm not interested. that measly $870B would give a lot of people opportunities to invest capital in things like: - food safety/anti-hunger efforts. somehow the whole "efficient allocation of resources" capitalism approach hasn't fixed this one yet, so seems reasonable to empower those who need food with cash directly - financial infrastructure for under/unbanked that isn't sleezy and exploitative for shareholders' sake - health basics e.g. medicines, birth control - local infra e.g. roads, power that we know pays dividends but our benevolent trillionaire overlords won't do due to decades-long horizons
