I suggest an added term: Take half the wealth of the Uber-Rich (the top 1%) and give it to the bottom 50%. We'll call it the "Trickle-Up Policy". Every person in the bottom 50% would get a check for $125,000.
According to "Why Nations Fail" by Acemoglu and Robinson, nations collapse when they have a certain level of wealth and income inequality.
The scientific measure for wealth and income inequality is called the "Gini Coefficient", and right now the US is at .49 on the Gini scale. At the current rate, we are headed for French Revolution levels (.69) within the next 7 years. The French Revolution was a bloody time, with mass executions and huge power vacuums filled by maniacal leaders (eg. Robespierre).
A possible solution to our current wealth inequality situation would be to redistribute wealth from the top 1% of wealthiest Americans, who OWN AS MUCH WEALTH AS THE BOTTOM 90% COMBINED.
#### If the top 1% gave half of their wealth to the bottom 50%, every person in the bottom 50% would receive $125,000.
