    Wealth taxes are a concrete solution. Your proposal is instead some vague notion of regulations and laws. By the way, a wealth tax would help prevent the rich from having so much money which allows them to set those regulations and laws in the first place.

      Banning PAC money would di the same thing but literally zero representatives are proposing bills to do that.

        With or without PACs, the money will find its way into politicians’ pockets.

            It’s to point out that banning PACs, while a good move, wouldn’t solve the problem. A wealth tax would be much more effective.
