If we emptied the account of every rich asshole like this we would achieve the same thing AND lose a whole class of dickbags that think they should be in charge.
The top 25 US billionaires could pay off US debt. Not even every billionaire. They total about 3 trillion net worth.
That's ignoring say the $60 billion or so Apple has in cash and who knows what other companies have
"As of January 2026, the total U.S. national debt has exceeded $38.5 trillion. This figure represents the total money borrowed by the federal government to cover annual deficits, which is growing rapidly, with a rise of over $2 trillion in 2025 alone."
I definitely want to tax the hell out of the rich, but we are in a deep hole. A long term systemic change will serve us better (or in addition to) talking all of their money now.
This debt is not important dude. You can pay any debt that is taken with your own money. You just cant pay if your debt is in other types, like gold silver or other currencies.
They created this system intentionally, so that they wont tax the rich and they make us poorer by printing money, and they have an excuse for stupid things.
The only problem with paying this debt, is people starts to distrust us dollar around the world, which is what they should do.
I checked, and 100% of the debt is in USD. So, the govn can pay it right away.
So, the govn can pay it right away.
No offense but i think you should learn a bit about more about economics, specifically about how currency works. Long story short, if a currency loses a lot of value in comparison to other currencies, the 'local' system collapses. So the very important task of a government (or its central bank really) is to keep it's relative value high (not too high, but that's a story for another day. The us gov (or the Federal Reserve in this case) would fail very very hard if they would decide to create 38 trillion usd. It is especially problematic considering the financial problems that it would cause are on top of all the other shit that's going on.
Having that debt played a big part in the US gaining the soft power that it used to have. Long term I'm not sure we'd even want to eliminate that debt but maybe target to keep it near the inflation rate.
Basically "if you owe the bank a dollar you have a problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars the bank has a problem" but extended out to international scale. If your roi depended on the US being sound and successful you'll take steps to ensure that outcome.
Adding $3 trillion in GDP would not remove the debt anyway. Assholes like this one don't even understand how GDP is calculated nor what it means.
Mfs legit think GDP stands for Gross Domestic Profit.
You’re not a team player, are you? Work more and work harder. For the team. /s
It's beautifully wrong on so many levels.

Or we could stop lying about what the national debt is and tax the wealthy to destroy their absurd power.
https://mmt101.substack.com/p/mmt-basics-national-debt-defined
Or we could make it illegal to be a billionaire.
“Please stay in the corporate meat grinder so we can have enough money to fuck kids then bomb them”
We’re constantly more productive and never see a reduction in work hours, only more work. You bring this up to one of these fucks or their simps and they say “sure, but when will the work get done?” as if that comment makes even the slightest amount of sense.
The very first thing we all need to do is stop working so hard. The rich don’t have any real skills and they have no power without the people they exploit.
That's not how national debt works you absolute ladle.
Americans are trained to believe that our National Debt is some kind of foreign imposed obligation that comes with the threat of sanctions and military intervention if we fail to pay it. Because that's how we handle debts international, it must be how we handle debts internally.
Garbage people produce garbage ideas.
Why not pay off the debt by reducing military spending by 90% for the next thirty years. We would still be in the top three countries for military spending.
This shitty idea is a thousand times better than anything Oz could come up with.
The thing is that he's right, but will these sleazy fucks do anything to actually make it happen? Well let's see what they're to implement...
So what they fuck do they mean by this? They clearly don't care about the debt or the well being of Americans since they're not willing to do anything about either. No, what they want are results without any of the work needed to achieve it. They're not looking for a more productive economy, they're looking for slaves.
The thing is that he’s right
He's not right. The national debt is way fuckin bigger than 3 trillion. He's also wrong in presuming that an infusion of productivity (tax revenue) can "solve" intentional over-spending. He's just a serial scammer spouting uninformed nonsense to stay relevant.
Or if we tax billionaires and corporations…
universal health care would accomplish the same thing
more worker more healthy better economy
Fucking ghoul. Thanks Oprah for making him famous.
Name one person uplifted by Oprah that's not a fucking ghoul.
Dr Oz, "Dr" Phil, John of God, each more evil than the last.
At least Dr Oz is legitimately a good heart surgeon. If that's all he ever did he'd have been a net positive on the world. As it is, he's caused far more harm to more people than he ever helped.
Did I fuckin miss something? We are 30 trillion in debt.
That's what happens when you give the richest people tax breaks and subsidise all your rich buddies endevours without uplifting the lowest socio-economic portions if society.
The best way to fix the economy is always to give the poorest more money (or less financial burden) because they spend a much higher percentage (usually all) of their excess income to keep afloat or improve their way of life.
The worst way is to give rich people more money. Because they horde it, gamble on non tangible goods (stocks, crypto, "ai" etc), send it off shore, keep it in the family and share it with other rich people etc.
It's ironic that the party that always does the worse thing for the economy and demonises doing the best is seen by the masses as the "good for the economy" party.
Fresh out of highschool? Wtf... Are kids really not getting jobs while still going to highschool anymore...
We were getting jobs as soon as law allowed us.
Am I out of touch or is this guy just an extreme privileged cunt?
He's super out of touch, I had a part time job when I was 15 at a Dairy Queen. And as far as I'm aware, that's still pretty common.
Alternatively, actually tax the top 10% at the 37% tax rate for everything earned above $600k, and let the working class try to enjoy a little life, with healthcare coverage.
Sell yourself to indentured servitude at 18 and work until you're found dead by the janitor. Your corporate masters need a new Ferrari!
Their fucking hubris is almost unbelievable
Two of the three points he made are total horseshit, but let's not throw out that last one:
If we could get the average American to ~~start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later --not retire -- or~~ work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy.
Universal Health Care fucking now.
Instead of trying to extend the prole's work life by a couple years, we COULD tax billion-dollar companies and their owners by 2% more and make three times as much money!
But we can't! Sorry. Our hands are tied
Also, can't afford minimum wage increase this year, the budget is tight
Oh! Almost forgot! We need a raise of 10% this year, and it's time for our winter break! After winter break, it's spring break. Then we will come back to "work" to pass more important legislation, right before our summer break.
You don't get breaks every year? Damn. Well, life is not fair what can we do later gator
So when do you start doing actual work, Oz?
as an aside - Read somewhere that this argument that the government can't afford all of these things like healthcare, infrastructure, etc. that would help most people is bullshit. Since the federal government prints it's own money there is nothing that it can't afford. We spent 3 - 8 trillion on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars alone. And when people argue that it will increase inflation - sure maybe, but if you tax wealthy people more it can cover part or all of the newly printed money.
Note: I'm a bit of an idiot about this stuff - so this article could be completely off base and I just wouldn't know.
That would more than remove the debt.
No it wouldn't! They'd just create even more debt, and then try to tell people that, if they'd start working earlier, and keep working later, and work harder, then..... they could create even MORE debt.
This is going to be so great for the Rich People's Pedo Island Money.
I hope Dr Oz is killed in front of his family
Already trying to roll back child labor laws under trump’s previous administration. Why did they decide to pay attention now?
‘Work better during their lifetime because they’re healthy’ is actually the way forward.
But of course it’s mentioned last because the first two proposals are a lot cheaper and faster.
Watching the US try to fix the country without taxing rich fuckers is like watching a poor person try to budget their way out of being poor.
Sometimes you just need more fucking money.
Like they'd use the money to pay back the debt lol.
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
