The Cost of Bailing out the wealthy is around $23.7 trillions, the wealthy 1% who make 20 % of all Income, can give back $200 millions.
The people, including the uninsured, pay taxes (Property Taxes, State taxes, Sale Taxes and Federal Taxes); and proportionally they pay a much higher percent of their income than the 5.4% the wealthy would have to give from their unsheltered money,
the left over after they donate money to non-for profit organizations, ran by family members or after they invest their money in real estate or stocks.
In fact, 5.4% is not enough. I would add a tax on luxury items such as: jewelry, fur coats, luxury cars, yachts, sailboats....
