> If, say, US would pass laws that allow them to tax everything that touches/ does business with a wealthy individual - that would make it very hard for said individual to avoid taxes

Who would pass these laws; politicians, right? The same politicians who are influenced by lobbyists, right?

You might then outlaw lobbying but the wealthy would just find another way to bring influence, wouldn’t they?
