1) The "trillions" is a presumption. You'd have to find it, first, and then prove they owe taxes on it.

2) The top couple % already pays a huge portion of the nations tax burden, so what makes you think you (or anyone) has a right to take away their money?

How about instead we begin to enforce the tax regulations on the 100"s of thousand of undocumented workers? Most have been living off the Gov't, plus earning wages at a job. Time for them to start paying the US back for giving them a better life.

I'm an old school Democrat, and have no issue with Federal programs that help these people get on their feet in a new country, but at the same time the program doesn't work if, down the road, there is no repayment once the immigrants are settled and employed.
