If everyone was a millionaire then no one is. The price of everything would skyrocket overnight. That million sure is cool when a bottle of water is a $100.

The math in the tweet doesn't work. That's the point. Each person would get about a buck fifty.

Kind of actually disproves their entire idea of wealth redistribution. It would wipe out both the wealthy and not actually help the poor at all.

Even if it were it wouldn't make everyone rich. See; helicopter money. Money is just a way of allocating limited resources. There isn't enough of everything that people would buy if they had $1M.

Giving everyone a buck fifty would have been a better campaign move than the garbage he spent it on

Yeah but everyone wouldn't be a millionaire, they could go to other countries. Exactly what China does with their millionaires in the US.
