Well, since the billionaire class doesn't pay it's fair share of the tax burden, that money has to come from somewhere.
This is a popular thought, but even if we take 100% from the billionaires it pays for almost one year for the US.
Now imagine if we had taken 30-40% from billionaires every single year... hmm...
We could have a couple year of almost not having a deficit.
