For perspective - let's make them pay it all back, retroactively, from the year 2000 as the article suggest. Now we will have (roughly due to compounding) tackled 0.0058% of the current US deficit leaving us with $17,133,947,996,837 or 99.994%. For those who prefer a visual perspective - http://demonocracy.info/infographics/usa/us_debt/us_debt.html http://demonocracy.info/infographics/usa/us_debt/us_debt.htm... I'm not convinced focusing on these tiny (relatively) loopholes on the "world's richest", should be the focus of trying to fix the problem.
