"Even if you took all the income from the top 1%, it would barely pay for the government for a single year."
Net Family Wealth US: $54 Trillion.
Wealth held by the Upper 1%: 42% of all wealth.
54 Trillion * .42=22 Trillion.
That was a 2 minute google search.
So it's true if you just take the amount they earned from income and interest and capital gains that might not pay for a year, but if you look at how much they have STOLEN thanks to a bankrupt, corrupt and unequal system, looks like they could fund the US government for about 20-25 years, more if you established a sovereign wealth fund like Norway....
