is this plausable?
the money of millionaires and billionaires is in the economy already so this does not increase level of economic activity as you seem to claim but it does change distribution of course there are six billion people in the world many of them have no clean water to drink or basic food and medical needs so if money is transferred from rich people like baut membership to them then they can have better lives and this is good because why is it right for baut members to be rich only because they are lucky to be born in rich countries

so you can set the limit at five thousand dollars instead of one million this is a good idea dont you think
