If you TOOK all the money from everyone in the U.S. above $250,000 , that's 100% of anything everyone earns over $250,000 guess what? It would run the U.S. govt. for less than a month.

The SPENDING is the problem.
I am on my phone and the math is too complicated without sitting down and figuring it out and I would probably still get it wrong...

How does that compute when if right now you divided up the national debt to every taxpayer (not citizen) you are only at $150k per person to wipe it away?

I get that you are saying only take it from those making more than 250k and that is a much smaller % but it still doesn't seem right that way.

Not saying its not, haven't done the math.
