1/ There are 614 U.S. billionaires- 400 richest together have near $3.4 *trillion*. Yet we haven’t heard one multi-billionaire yet say “I’ll throw in $1 billion for a stimulus fund if some of my friends will also give $1 billion to compensate for the greed & mendacity of Congress

2/ Perhaps the “opioid rich” Sackler family could start - given how “sorry” they are and all? Then maybe “no federal taxes” Jeff Bezos would like to say a few words? It’s amazing in America today how easily we neglect the powerless and protect the powerful.

Ask @Oprah she could start the fund

You do know congress is breaking records in lobby money currently. Those billionaires are paying congress members for MORE money and privileges & congress members are literally raking in RECORD amounts of lobby money (both sides of the aisle) in the delaying the stimulus bill.

I haven’t heard one politician complain about receiving $7500 every two weeks as a paycheck, from the American taxpayer. I have heard them debate whether or not we’re worth a stimulus check equal to less than 10% of what they earn in monthly from us. They’re paid to well to care!

Perhaps an online campaign start w/McKenzie Scott (ex-Bezos) is world's richest woman-$67 Billion. Donated $4.2 billion this yr. She said "[I] accelerated charitable donations b/c of wrecking ball effect of the coronavirus...substantially increased the wealth of billionaires."

Why not simply ask them to do so? How about it @elonmusk your billions have increased by 39% in the past month alone. Why not give some of that to those impacted horribly by this Crisis. How about it @JeffBezos? @amazon stock is up 20,000% since inception. Why not give $10 bil?

That isn’t liquid wealth. It’s a valuation of the assets they created. That’s not money that was taken from anyone else. Also, the federal budget in 2019 was $2.7T. Those billionaires could’ve covered only 18 mo of the budget before covid if it was liquid.
