“If you took the entire $33 billion away from the two richest guys and gave it equally to the bottom 30% they would each have about $305. In other words it wouldn't make a whole lot of difference.”


Is your math wrong?  I think it might be.


$33,000,000,000 / 11,000,000 = $3000 each, and not $305.


By the way, I don't think anyone is suggesting this be done.  


Also, consider that there is likely quite a bit of wealth held by these sorts of individuals that is hidden/inaccessible to governments.  It's been estimated that there's is well over $30 trillion worth of wealth held in offshore accounts.
