It's really not a dilemma. Those are US dollars - property of the united states government - and we can give them to whoever will use them best. Forcibly taking billionaires money seems scary, but when you realize most of them hate the median American (what else could you call the current wealth gap), it's the only sensible option. We need a new class of elites that love and have connections (race, history, religion) to their people.
