Looking at that, without even breaking out the calculator YOU KNOW it&#8217;s wrong. But does that stop MSNBC&#8217;s Brian Williams and NYT Editorial Board member Mara Gay from doubling down? NO, they agree with the bad math! And it&#8217;s worse than that when you think about it, because Williams has producers and researchers who didn&#8217;t pick up on it. Willing to bet Mara had to get the okay from someone ay the NYT to go on tv and talk about it &#8211; they didn&#8217;t stop her either.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ordODDzVso8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The number of people involved in this is terrifying!

This is why they&#8217;re called fake news.<\/p>\n<p>It also shows how desperate and vicious the Left has become to attack billionaires to support their insane theory that socialism is the answer for everyones woes..&#8221;Well if we just tax all the rich at 70-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/economy\/sanders-plan-would-have-billionaires-taxed-more-than-they-earn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">97.5<\/a>% there will be plenty of money for everyone!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No, no there won&#8217;t be enough money for everyone, and you will also devalue the dollar in the process.

If you add up <b>all<\/b> the wealth held by the evil 1% worldwide you&#8217;re not even close to that, just to give the money to Americans.
