24. In a just country (oh well)

The money would have to be used to restore full funding for programs for the disadvantaged, at levels before 2025. If there's any left over, either distribute equally to reduce the deficit (which we all pay for one way or another ... deficits make sense at certain times but not as long running policy); or pay into the Social Security trust fund (no one wants Grandma's check cut by 35% a few years from now, do they); or a variety of other things that would either benefit the majority, or those most in need.
