Obviously would have to, as we de-leverage their ill-gotten gain. But I would.

Upon further reflection I realized how that subject sounded I meant it in the spirit of La Boetie

"The tyrant, indeed, has nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you, if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? How does he have any power over you except through you? How would he dare assail you if he had not cooperation from you?"


Not literally.
