Trickle down economics
For the past 50 years they've tried to give the wealthy some money but no matter how much they gave the rich, only a little trickled down to the poor
So they've decided to just turn on the money fire hose and shower the rich with all the money they can get their hands on ... it's a literal avalanche of money and hopefully this will trickle down and get some more money to the poor.
For every million they send to a rich person, ten bucks goes to a street person .... so we need to spend billions, trillions of dollars on these rich people in order to get enough money to people in need.

I can actually picture someone making this argument in earnest.

Trickle down economics
A sound bit to fool the common clay rubes - fools them over, and over, and over. Rinse and repeat.

If you got 10 bucks for every million towards billionaires you'd actually be a millionaire. The ratio was more like a cent for every million.

I think they mean $999,990 goes to person A and $10 goes to person B.
If you want to create one (1) millionaire that way you would need to spend $999,000,000,000. Imagine how that would look with 1 cent to every million.
Are the two of you even talking about the same data? Maybe you spread the $10 over 1,000 people to get to that number of $0,01.
