Governor Rockefeller once told a reporter, "A million here and a million there - it can eventually add up to some real money."
Ah, the luxury of wealthy thinking.
What's the difference? Million? Billion? Trillion? For the curious among us ...

I think your millionaire should first learn to count. 1/330 is 0.3 cents and not 3 cents !
And the receptionnist don't know so much to calculate.
Only 3 people, if her family is compoused with her, a husband and 2 childs, gave her litterally more than 12 000 $
Of course, let's forget about trillionaire, there's not. But imagine every billionaires and every millionaires are doing the same?
It's not the same story! Even if they keep half of their money and give the other half

Once you reach $999 Million, all further earnings go to taxes for the poor
And in this system how much money do the poor get?
None. The billionaire stops working a 999 million.

Who really think billionaires earn their millions only by working?

If you're a working stiff making $15/h at the end of your career, you're a fool.
$15/h minimum wage is for students and an in-between for unemployed or when you're retired and want to make some extra cash by sitting at WalMart.
Do note that if you are a billionaire, it would be very foolish to spend much of that money. Most of your money would be tied up in your businesses employing thousands or even millions of people, spending that value and converting it into cash means selling off parts of your business, which means you either devalue it or lose control over it. You may need to fire all your employees and destroy all your assets just so you can give them a one-time payment? Then what? They'll get some fancy TV's before they're all unemployed for the next decade?
Going from rich to pauper is easy, not the other way around.
