- by household

Lets say by person... USA has roughly 350 million people ... so each would have a share of 10 828.5714 .

With this, a walmart ( or minimum salary ) full time employee earning $ 16 640.00 ( 8.00 hour/40 hours / 52 weeks ) would be left with 5811.43 to live on for the year .
The one making 500 000.00 would be left with 489 171.43

Nice system ....

PS: those doing less then 10 000.00 would go to jail.
