If they stop being US citizens make them register as foreign agents and publish all lobbying attempts. In addition we should make any organization that is not >50% owned by US citizens a foreign controlled entity and remove their ability to lobby in private. There are other changes that would need to happen like making it illegal not to be able to trace ownership of an organization to an individual but its better than nothing.

The problem I see with this argument is the "we need to do this, and then this, and then this". If it were that simple to make changes, the rich would be taxed fairly already. We're having trouble making one change, how would we accomplish a series of changes? I'm not defending the rich. I'm just saying how it is and arguing there's more to it than just "kick the rich out" and/or "tax the rich".

I probably just took this meme too seriously. And like you said, I'm feeling a hostage to these people as well.
